model 70

So I purchased a new to me Model 70 classic in 270win. Anyway, ordered some bases and rings for it (Leupold #50020 base). The front base screws seemed to have stopped and/or bottomed out before the base got tight. Rear is tight. Has anyone else ever had this problem before? Should I try some...

Hi Everyone! Been shooting for a while, but I'm new to the forum. I've seen a lot of horror stories regarding sending rifles back for repair and wanted to share my experience with Winchester (well... Browning). I bought a new Model 70 from my LGS. It was a 2020 SHOT Show special Extreme...

I'm still kinda new here so if this is in the wrong place please let me know. I've been looking for a nice, heirloom quality rifle for primarily deer and hog, and hopefully one day for elk, moose, and brown bear. I've really been looking hard at a new production wood stocked Model 70, most...

Howdy everyone let me start by saying I’m still fairly young around these parts if I hazard to guess :D I’m not yet 30 I can’t remember the AWB or Y2K I’ve never read any of Jack O’connor’s work But I’ve happened upon pics and stories of his Perfect model 70........... So I am curious can...

If you were to get a Winchester Model 70 chambered in .375 H&H, which one would you get - the Alaskan, or the Safari Express - and why? Thanks.

I just purchased a new Model 70 Extreme Weather in .308. The center scope mount holes measure 3.5” (WSM) instead of 3.25” (SA). Is this an issue or do I just need to buy what the gun measures instead of what it “should” be? Thanks

I just purchased a new Model 70 Extreme Weather in .308. Purchased a Warne picatinny rail and it does not fit. From what I can find via EGW center hole spacing should be 3.25(SA), while the gun measures 3.5(WSM). Front and rear hole spacing is correct, just not at the same time. Has anyone...

Alright, so I bought this gun a few weeks back. Winchester model 70 (in .270). As far as I can tell, the gun was made in the early 70s though it seems Winchester Serial number ID is pretty poor. It starts with a G and is in the late 200,000s. It says "classic sporter" on the barrel and has the...

Most guns are pretty easy to value, but I haven't sold too many custom rifles with gunsmith work into them. I need your help. I've got a tuned (blueprint milled) Winchester M70 stainless steel long action chambered in 300 Win Mag with polished match trigger and trued 28" Krieger heavy profile...
