Lets see your pre 64 model 70's

[Johnn Peterson]

Awesome rifle Johnn !
That stock is to die for.

And it's factory original. My buddy loves the rifle but if I hadn't had the 'need' for a Schultz & Larsen, I'd still have it.

The one rifle I have that means more to me than any other is the Pre 64 model 70 westerner in .264WM. My Granpa bought it new in 1959, and just a few years ago he gave it to me. I absoultly fell in love with the rifle and calibre right off the bat.

This is my 1949 Winchester Model 70, 22 K-Hornet with a 10 power Unertal scope.

What value should I put on this gun and scope?

Fricken priceless. But I will take it off your hands if you can't stand to have it around.

One more hijack cd. I have the same scope on my antique varmint rifle, an old custom Winchester Highwall in 219 Donaldson Wasp. The 'package' shoots well with handloads using the Hornady 50gr V-MAX.

Jeezus man, in two pages you have posted that rifle twice, thats way beyond hijacking

Now, can we get back to pre 64 model 70's

 

[ron hilchey]

.220 Swift with it's new glass.
Working well. The scuff ahead of the entrance hole is where the yote was previously caught in a snare. Imagine; got out of a snare, then to meet the Swift.

Won't happen again.

 

[BigUglyMan]

I'm sure you have some good plans for it, right?

Yeah...sold it to me!

 

[NAA]

I'm in!

I have yet still to own a pre-64 Win 70.... but I'd love one in .270 Win in nice shape, though......

Update from my previous post in Sept above...... I'm very proud to say I'm finally in the Pre '64 Model 70 club!

My recently arrived "new to me", 1961(?) mfg, Model 70 in .270 Win:





I've thrown on a vintage B&L Elite 3000 3-9x40mm that was spare for now. The optics are nice & bright. I'm looking forward to getting out soon with my "new to me" acquisition......

NAA.

 

[crazy_davey]

Very nice NAA! Too bad about that big black rubber thing on the back end though

Might as well sell it to me now so I can finish hacking it up JK!

Actually, I can live with it. And let's put it this way.... the price was certainly 'right' to get it, too.....

NAA.

 

[archie_james_c]

Congrats NAA, for me the .270 WCF seems to be the classiest combo for a pre-64 . You need a purple Vari-X II 3-9X40 and Conetrol rings for it now

 

[BigUglyMan]

Mine will eventually get pulled apart and built into something else, but until I know what to build it will stay a delightfully un-original 257 Roy.

But as a slight hijack...Pre-64 Magnum bolt face - WWYD?

 

[MattW]

Here's a picture of the 220 Swift I picked up a while back, real tack driver.

 

[Rod]

Matt, your 220 Swift looks like a brother to mine. Only difference is mine has a 15x lyman super targetspot scope. I think I have a not very good picture somewhere, I'll look for it . .yup, found it and a few more:

1953 M70 220 Swift

Here's a couple more pictures I found of a few I have:

1953 Featherweght in 308

Featherweight in 30-06

Here's two I just bought, a supergrade and a 243 F/W . . seller's pictures

I have a few more that I haven't taken pictures of, but this is enough for now.

Merry Christmas everyone:

Regards:
Rod

 

[MattW]

Hi Rod, my Swift is a 54 so they're pretty close. I like the Lyman scope on yours better though, I think you've shown me that picture before, it's a good one. Nice bunch of rifles you've got there, I'm liking all the Featherweights. BTW thanks Rod for the tips on refreshing the wood finish on these Winchesters, it's worked very well for me.

Matt, did I mention, I hate you JK of course

BTW thanks Rod for the tips on refreshing the wood finish on these Winchesters, it's worked very well for me.

Please, do tell the rest of us.
