Wayne ElmerThere is usually one for sale on GunBroker. The catch is they're usually asking 1500-1800 dollars for 'em.

I've been doing the "happy dance" every since I bought mine in 2004.

Wayne ElmerThe sad thing is that even at 1500 to 1800 bucks they're still about the cheapest (and only) way for a lefty to get into a CRF 375 H&H.

SnowwolfeYou can get a MRC barreled action in ss and add a McMillan stock and still be under 1500. Plus the MRC's have much better bottom metal.
I bought and sold three of the W70's 375's and was not happy with any of them.
I regretted selling my MRC so much that I have another long action or order for a future project.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
My opinion of these rifles is that they are a good buy even at $1800. They are CRF...have nice express sights and a second recoil lug...barrel band sling attachment....one piece bottom metal....and a nice wood stock. Yes a MRC and McMillan stock rifle can be ordered for a similar price and that is a good option...the only option if you want Stainless... however if you are looking for a traditional wood stockand blue steel rifle you will have to spend alot more money to get similar features. Just my $.02...

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?'
I've had two of these, still have one. Some of them have serious design flaw. Won't go into it. PM me if you're contemplating a purchase. There is a correction available.

My M70 came with one piece Williams bottom metal but my MRC has two pieces that are riveted together.

I've got one in the box I'm going to unload. It has the williams extractor and bottom metal.
