Now that Winchester is closing its US plant, there will likely be no more model 70's in the big bores made EVER! Even if overseas Winchester/Browning makes some model 70's, unlikely to be in the big calibers, as these were always made in small batches. I got one from CDNN for $889 two weeks ago. Could be the real end of a great rifle. | ||

Did I mention that I love my .375 Mod 70 Safari Express? Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate. Do not be uneasy about me, for I am with my friends." ----- David Crockett in his last letter (to his children), January 9th, 1836 "I will never forsake Texas and her cause. I am her son." ----- Jose Antonio Navarro, from Mexican Prison in 1841 "for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Thomas Jefferson Declaration of Arbroath April 6, 1320-“. . .It is not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.” | |||

Combs are to high for me. Might have bought one otherwise. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

They are disappering fast. Called my FFL yesterday and he in turn called his dealer/distributor. He said a day or two ago they had a bunch of them, but now they have pulled them off the market and will most likely put them back up as available once they "re-price" them. Just bought one NIB in 458 WM off GunBroker for $899.99 Don't really need it, but what the heck, I will buy into the frenzy. Tim | |||

Just because USRAC may be surrendering its license doesn't mean the Model 70 is going to disappear. Someone else will come along and buy the license to manufacture it. George  | |||

There are quite a few on gunbrokers and Sportsman's warehouse has them in stock for $980. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||
