Just thought I would throw this one out there......Nothing more.............Don't need to how many Model 70's you own (I own two), but rather a simple reply, to how many of us AR members own Model 70 Winchester's. I'll start: Count me in for 2! Let's see how big the list gets.

Are you referring to pre 64's or post 64's?

1 PF and 1 CRF

Mike

1 PF

Half a dozen old ones and one Classic.

Two late model CRFs.

Joe.

1 CRF Classic Nice rifle!

You can count me as an owner, but I'm not saying how many!

One pre and two classics. Hopefully be getting one more of each in the next year.

(1) pre-64 in .375 H&H.

Ck,

One pre-war and one pre-64.

Regards,

Terry

It is not polite to ask a woman her age or her weight. Therefore, I would also say that it is not polite to ask a man how many guns he owns.

Actually, I own 2 modern M70's but my preference is for the Pre-64 M70 of which I own a few.

Tim

Two. 300 Win Mag, 416 Rem Mag

Jim

One pre-64 30-06

Saad

3 Late model 70's.

Had a pre64 270 with a 24" barrel. Beautiful gun. Some loser stole it.

Daryl

Two push feeds,both featherweights

One CRF, SS!

Well, at the moment I have 5 and have sold off at least that many. All CRF classics. The classic stainless is my favorite hunting rifle.

I'm not sure I dare say "one Win 70 rifle", as it's been rebarrelled and waiting for a new stock. Anyway, the receiver still reads "Winchester"

2 x Push Feeds - 243 and 30-06

JUST sold Push Feeds 458 Win Mag so will let you decide
if in or out of the count.

500 Nitro

Three .243 .270 7x57

3

One, lefthand. TTS

One classic CRF 30-06. Waiting for a 270 WSM featherweight

one in 300WSM, a SS Classic

Four pre-64s and three post 92 CRFs. jorge

Put me in for 3.....2-pre-64's (1-old/1-new) and 1-PF

Put me down for 14 pre 64 and 8 post 64 and 5 classics

Doc

4 pre-64s

12 Classics

AD

(1) LH 338 Stainless Classic

I shoot four Model 70 Winchesters. All are capable of pin point accuracy, when I am. All are post 64 rifles, although two are the CRF Classics produced in the last few years. A .300 Win, two .358 STA's, and a .416 Rem. Good shooting.

1 LH .357H&H Safari Classic

I've got 5 LH CRFs; .270, 7mmSTW, 7mmSTW, .375H&H,
.470 Capstick (and I'm probably going to buy a LH/SA .270WSM when they come out later this year).

George

Two, a 300H&H and a .270win.

My wife has a 6.5x55.

CK: I Hunt a lot of my Big Game with a customized pre-64 Model 70 in caliber 280 Remington. In fact I chose this Rifle for my custom because it was made the same month that I was born - July 1947! Its a great Rifle, accurate, dependable and very safe!
I Hunt Varmints with several other pre-64 Model 70's again accurate, dependable and safe.
I also collect the Winchester pre-64 Model 70's and have a bunch of them including Target Rifles, Bull Guns, Varminters, Gopher Specials, Super Grades, Featherweights, National Match's, and all the various models of the standard Rifle. Great hobby this and rewarding.
Speaking of reliable I have made it a habit when I travel the country to stop in all the gun shops and gun smithing shops I come across. I always get around to asking the smiths - "have you ever seen a broken firing pin on a pre-64 Model 70?" I have yet to find one that has had to replace a firing pin on one! I am not saying there has never been a broken firing pin on a Model 70 I just have not seen one! They were well made Rifles!
Long live the Riflemans Rifle!
