My first Winchester Model 70 is kinda fancy

[blackdeuce]

I have quite a few guns, but did not have a Model 70. My son thought I needed this one (now he's trying to talk me out of it).

It's a 1998 Shot Show limited edition. Approximately 300 made in 270 caliber. Control round feed. Fajen maple stock.

Pretty nice, I think.

Very nice!

That is a beautiful rifle. Good caliber too.

That's a beauty in a classic caliber. The .270 Winchester is the perfect caliber for most all North American game. My old Ruger M77 Mk 1 in .270 is one of my favorites, but there's no comparison to the classic look of a Winchester Model 70.

I handled and shot a Winchester M70 for the first time about 10 years ago. I will say I was quite impressed with it and even thought long and hard about buying a well kept vintage model. So far I have not as at 71 I should be selling guns - not buying more! At least that is what my Wife tells me - lol.

With that Maple stock I'm sure a considerable up charge on the price.

Yeah, I certainly could have bought a M70 for less money. I paid $1400 for this one. I didn't think that was bad for what it is.
