DennisHP*SOLD* - LH Winchester M70 .375H&H Safari Express FS
Winchester LH M70 Safari Express in 375H&H for sale. I bought it new in 2003 and immediately sent it to Mark Penrod for trigger and safety re-working, pillar bedding and floating of the barrel channel, a Pachmeyer Decellerator pad installed and Talley bases fit. I also installed a Wisner extended claw extractor and a Wisner mag spring. It has a Leupold Vari-X 3 1.75x6x32mm scope mounted on Tally's QR rings. It's seen 3 safaris and is in 95% + condition with around 500 rounds thru it. Sold as package only. $2,100.00 shipped CONUS to your FFL

ROSCOEI would say you could bet between 2000 and 2200 for your rifle on Gunbroker. The last one I saw that sold went for about 1700 but it had no scope.
Good luck...it sounds like a great set-up.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

SnowwolfeMost buyers really do not care what you had done to the rifle and generally will not pay more money as a result. $1500-1700 seems a good number.
Without a doubt you can sell that package for more money if you separate the scope from the rifle.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

DennisHPThanks everyone for the PM's with suggestions and statements of interest.
I believe DG rifle buyers would want to know everything that has been done to the rifle as it pertains to safety, accuracy, and shooting comfort and will recognize the added value of the work done by a well known smith.

ClaymanBoy, that's tempting. Where were you 8 months ago when I was buying?

The Penrod work is a great touch to an awesome rifle.
