Winchester Model 70, a few questions

[BigUglyMan]

That would have also been a good idea but I ended up going new. I've heard nothing but praise for the fit and finish on the new production M70's and this man has never bought a new rifle in his life. This will be a first.

I think he'll be a happy camper either way. That's a neat idea regarding the serial numbers, I might do something similar and get it engraved with some memento.

Gives you five years to find the right one for his 70th!

To my eye; a M70 Featherweight is one of the nicest looking rifles out there for a pure hunting rifle. Perfect for a gift.

Final Update: Well she arrived today and I have to say I am amazed at how little it weighs. This M70 is 2.5lbs lighter than my other .308 bolt gun and is even lighter than my .223 bolt gun.

Going to make for a great hunting rifle.

It’s offensive to not post pictures or this. Just saying.
