Thanks, it's not mine and it didn't look anything like my Win 70 classic. This rifle is unfired in the box and chambered in 243 Win. Since Winchester didn't chamber the 243 until 1955 can you tell approximately what vintage it is? Is it worth anything exceptional?

Am I going blind or is the extractor missing from this rifle? The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

Harris, I think it"s probably blued. | |||

Actually, that's a Winchester M-670 and they were pretty rough /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

It should say on the barrel,I think Ted williams model sold by sears and roebuck. Its modeled off the win model 70,and was a contract rifle at that time. van | |||

The rifle is a Winchester Model 70 action (post 64), and may have been sold by either Winchester or Sears, depending on the markings. It appears in the second picture that there may be a magazine floorplate. If so, and if the stock is hardwood (as it appears) rather than walnut, then this is an odd duck as most of the "economy" hardwood-stocked models used a blind magazine. As to vintage, it would likely have been made in the very late 60's or the 70's. | |||

I have one of these very rifles as a beater and borrower rifle. It is made by Winchester and is basically just a cheaper M70. Mine has a hinged floor plate that looks like it is made out of some cheap-ass white metal that is then painted black. There is no mauser style extractor because it is a post-64 M70. Overall it's not a bad rifle and if it can be oicked up for $200 it is a heck of a bargain! | |||
