I found this in a local shop and could not believe how nice it was. It is a new in box 7mm Mag. It was tagged $900 but he let me have it for $750 to move it!!!!! I didn't even ask my wife before I threw the money at the guy. He said that no one wants or appreciates nice wood anymore and that all his patrons want synthetic Remingtons and Brownings. Finally a good find when I had some extra cabbage. I'm tickled to death. Am I being silly or is this a nice looking rifle for a factory stick?

Very Nice!

Very nice indeed. However, there is a lot you can do to those Wichester super grade stocks to make them even nicer. They tend to have a bit too much wood on them in certain places thereby making them look a bit clubby.

I am waiting on an M70 SG too, should be here next week. Hopefully my wood looks as nice as yours. good find.

Man what find! you did good.

Sure is a fine piece of walnut you bought - I'd have done the same for that $$

One of the members here says 'life's too short to hunt with an ugly gun' - absolutely right.

Pleasure every time you take it off the rack - hard to put a value on that.
Enjoy

Treat it well over the coming years and your son will also have himself a fine rifle someday.

I think that you have more than $750 worth of wood alone. Very well done.

At first blush, I would have suggested it was stained but Winchester would not do that on a factory rifle. You got a gem on your hands. use it well and enjoy. And you are not being silly, you have made an incredible find.

That really is a beautiful piece of wood-the7 mag doesn't interest me but i'da bought it in a minute.

It can be rebarreled.

Nice score!

Hey, if I dont like mine then it gets rebarreled to 470AR. That will keep me from having to buy that Rem ADL at Wally for $360 for my AR rebarrel. Some may not agree, but theres nothing wrong with the 7mm RM.

I would have paid $750 for that! In fact I'll give you $750 for it so you won't have to cry about that first scratch!

OCC, you did very well. There are some really nice looking SG's out there. I based my custom on a SG with wood much the same as yours and kept the factory stock but refinished it and changed out the pad.

A well spent $750, hopefully it shoots as good as it looks!

I've only seen a few ever pass throughthe shop with wood near that nice, one a Winchester 94 and the others Weatherbys.

Steal of a deal my friend.

Beautiful rifle but I think I'd like a standard trigger. THAT looks like a mini mag light!!!

Congratulations,
Kyler

Great except for the size of the bore and chamber! Along with the bolt handle on the wrong side.
Sure looks nice!

what a BEAUTIFUL rifle great on you man jjmp

I've seen some excellent wood in the super grades but dang..!! That's awesome!!! Congratulations!!!

Very nice. But, and this is no criticism, because I think you got a great deal, IMO the Winchester factory stock finish really darkens the wood.

I have a custom shop M70 with spectacular wood, but the finish has darkened it so much that the light has to be just right before one can really appreciate it.

I am going to have it refinished at some point.
