Yes. Heavy, but a good gun. Assuming it's a controlled feed, claw extractor model... Winchester starts with a heavy mauser style action, and adds a 26 inch barrel to most of their magnum rifles. If you don't mind a big heavy rifle, go for it. The upside is that the weight and extra barrel length will help tame the recoil and muzzle blast of the .300 Mag. The only other downsides I can think of is that Winchesters aren't famous for being accurate, and it's probably going to be expensive, being asmodel 70's are in high demandsince Winchester stopped making them.Other upsides would be that Winchesters are well made,generally reliable riflesthat arejustplain cool.

If I hadthe funds and found a gooddeal on a model 70, I'd buy it and hold onto it-as long as it wasn't one of the push feed models. I would thenget it bedded,have the trigger adjusted, and probablynever need another rifle.
