This is my 1949 Winchester Model 70, 22 K-Hornet with a 10 power Unertal scope.
Nice!! I have the same scope on my 'vintage' varmint rig, an old custom Winchester Highwall in 219 Donaldson Wasp.
Thats a weird looking Pre 64 model 70
At least you didn't forget the moose John!
Oh no, I've been had. I was assured when I purchased it that it was a model 70, from the pre metric era. I posted to the thread as the scope is the only one I've seen other than mine.with my pre metric era model 70. 
, but in parting, here's another Moose for you.
This picture-posting thing is new stuff to me or can you tell ?
Nothing shabby about your posting of pictures. Better than my efforts. For me, I made the ability to learn how to post pictures my only New Years Resolution for 2010. With a LOT of assistance and patient guidence from H4831, I made it, but just under the wire. The size of the pictures you've posted is smaller and a much better size than what I've been doing. One day............... And my 'resolution' for this year was to 'figure out' my GPS, that I received as a gift two years ago. IF I make it, it'll be another one, just under the wire.
My apologies for side-tracking this fine thread, but Johnn P. you and I have the same teacher/tutor regarding pics, and yes I'm still trying to figure out my damn GPS !
You're ahead of me. I haven't taken mine out of the package yet.. I'm going to have to put an effort in if I want to keep this years resolution. Just took a peek at my 'package', which was a Christmas gift. It's a Lowrance i FINDER EXPEDITIONc. Also, with it I also received a Lowrance Map Create 6 GPS Mapping Accessories PACK. I wonder if our teacher/tutor gives GPS instruction? I'm going to have to get my butt in gear and get at it.
, technology and I haven't forged ahead at the same pace. A short while ago we were visiting in AB and if I would've thought of it at the time, I should've taken my GPS 'package' with me. After watching how adept our three year old Granddaughter is with some of todays 'goodies', she could probably get me started.
My old M70 must weigh well over 9 lbs., and I'm sure I have nearly half a dozen rifles at least 3 lbs. lighter..or better, but it just feels good, really good to carry and brings along too many good memories.
For that reason it still gets its share of hunting trips and then some.
to the old bod instead. Still the same gross weight to pack up the hillside but a greater health benefit associated with the personal weight reduction.My old M70 must weigh well over 9 lbs., and I'm sure I have nearly half a dozen rifles at least 3 lbs. lighter..or better, but it just feels good, really good to carry and brings along too many good memories.

Bit of a side issue but I don't buy a rifle with its weight as a major consideration. I think if 'we' want to pack less weight on a hunt, we'd be better off packing an average weight rifle and applying weight reduction

Just pulling your chain a little. For the most part I do agree, it's just that shedding weight from my waist rather than from my rifle would be more of a benefit for me. Deviating from the model 70 topic for a moment, I do have a light weight for those long walks in near vertical terrain. It's a model 4000 Husqvarna light weight in 30-06 I inherited from my Dad.
