I am offering a 4 gun set of Winchester Model 70 Super grade Rifles for raffle with Saeed’s generous permission. The tickets are $20 each and there are a total of 500 tickets.
The set of rifles was made available to SCTP (Scholastic Clay Target program) teams by Midway USA. More on SCTP bit later. Midway had Winchester create these sets of rifles and from my understanding they are not available to the general public outside of these raffles. The set is called the “Nearly Perfect Rifle Battery” and the calibers are .375 H&H, .300 Winchester Magnum, .270 Winchester and .22-250 Remington. They have upgraded matching wood. One person will win all 4 rifles. At the completion of the raffle, the set will be shipped postage paid via registered mail to the FFL of choice of the winner.
Payment will be by certified check. Have the check made out to WASCTP. Mail to C Worthing, 3020 Conarty Road, Malaga, WA 98828 and I will return your numbered ticket to your mailing address.
The proceeds from this raffle will be used in two ways. Half of the funds will go to our endowment fund at Shooting Trust org and the other half will be used for our operational funds for travel, ammunition and registration fees for our shooters.
Here are several photos of the actual set that I have in hand.










INFO ON SCTP:
SCTP is an organization formed to introduce young men and women from grades 12 and under to the clay target shooting sports. It is a nationwide organization and the coaches are all volunteers who receive no pay for their work. We coach our shooters in skeet, trap and sporting clays and instruct them in the sports as well as safe gun handling.

If you have any questions about the organization or the raffle, please post them on here and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

What are all the markings on the forward part of the barrels and on the floor plates?

Keith

What is the cut off to send in payment, and when is the raffel going to be held? (my apologies if I missed that info in the start of this thread!)

Is there a website for the raffle, to track results, etc.?

The markings on the barrel are just a plastic piece that slides on to the barrel for in store advertising, benelli uses them also. Can't read the engraving on the mag bottoms.

Thank you for posting this.

Beautiful rifles.

Where is the 30.06?

Good hunting.

Well that is some good news. I had the thought that Gary Reader was in the design of this package.

This is intersting as my local hardware/gun store has this same offer. It seems strange that only 500 tickets will be offered nationwide but then we are only 1.5 hours from MIDWAY USA or maybe they have this offer for each state.

Thanks for posting this my payment is in the mail!
Good luck to everyone and remember even if you are not the winner the funds go to a great cause.

Is there a Left Handed set?
Sincerely,

Wow! I'm in for at least one ticket.

I'd love to win, but introducing kids to shooting is a great cause!

Were I to win that, there will be two of the rifles for sale.

Well they are adverstising it as the NEARLY perfect rifle battery.

Sorry that I have not responded earlier. We had our SCTP State Championship shoot this weekend and I just got back from Seattle. I am happy to report that my young shooters won the State HOA Title along with the Sporting clays title, the skeet title and the trap title.

The bottom metal says "Nearly Perfect Rifle Battery" and the 22/250 says Varmint and under that is says 1 of 4.

The 270 says Deer, and 2 of 4, the 300 win mag says Elk or Moose 3 of 4 and the .375 says Dangerous Game and 4 of 4.

Rob H, I am intending to end the raffle at the end of November or when all the 500 tickets are sold.

Whelenite, I intend to make the Accurate Reloading the site for that information.

army aviator, Originally there were only 20 sets available to the SCTP teams. Midway said if they used up all of those then they would issue more. In the end 80 sets were sent out. Most of them have been raffled off. If your local hardware store has a set then they are doing it for and SCTP team. They did not send them out one to each state, they sent them on a first come first served basis. Alaska got 8 sets and sold 7 of them before they ever had any of the guns in hand.

Ray, that is exactly where the funds go.

Just for clarification; Larry and Brenda Potterfield donated 100 sets of these rifles with 100% of the proceeds being split between the oganization selling the tickets and the organization of choice with the Scholastic Shooting Trust Fund, SSTF. The proceeds are intended to involve more youth in the shooting sports.

My information differs slightly from yours but as far as the split, half of it stays with my team for spending as we need under certain criteria and the other half goes into SSTF in OUR teams endowment fund, where it is matched 3 to 1 by Midway USA Foundation.

Ttt

Wow!

I see Mr. Potterfield every year in Dallas. I'll have to tell him what a wonderful thing he has done (particularly if I win!).

The guy reminds me of Mr. Rogers on the old television show. All nice and gracious about everything. And this gift makes my suspicions confirmed!

Hey Judge G,

This is slightly off topic, but when we flew our respective aircraft to the bone yard at Davis Monthan AFB all those years ago, we should have just landed on one of the desert flat areas over in Eastern Arizona by the old route 666 (gotta love that). My 1966 "Hard Wing" F-4D cost the US $7,500,000.00 in May of 1966. You model (1959? 1960?) A-4 cost $5,400,000.00. Both of those planes were turned into drones. My beloved 66675 and my alternate plane 66666 were shot down last year by F-22s.

I am not sure when your plane befell its cruel fate; hopefully it became a "jet on a stick" outside the main gate of the Waterloo, Iowa International Airport. More likely, a Tomcat blew it away over water.

We could have stripped all the classified systems out of those planes and dropped that off at the bone yard; wait! steam gauges, needle, ball and alcohol are not classified. So, we just had to remove the radar fire control system in the F-4 and the jukebox in the A-4. Somebody could be flying those planes in War bird fly byes down in Harlingen, TX.

We could have pocketed a coll $1,000,000.00 each. The f-22 kids would not notice the absent drones while they were hypoxic, and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would be too busy doing unplanned backward flips off of carrier decks due to "temporary unanticipated soft ware anomalies.

Just think, one 21 day safari per year, and a nice bungalow high on the eastern cape getting sloshed on good Johannesburg Riesling, Glenlivet, etc. I would set up a still for Chic.

Thank God my first two F-16s went to foreign sales, one to a former friend of the US. I only hope that is the plane I spilled a lot of snoose juice in. I hope the bastard pushes negative g'z one day -that will cloud his vision something fierce.

Sorry, back to the regularly scheduled thread. I will buy some tickets

PS I bet that old F-102 pilot was royally pissed when I speared his old plane with an AIM 7 Sparrow at the end of its service life.
