Winchester rifles who has one?
 

Also who is wanting to buy one now that they have closed up shop. I have owned two different rifles in the past.I have a left hand .270 WSM featherweight on layaway(from cabelas)right now. I don't plan on letting it go now they are gone. None of the gun shops around here have any winchesters M70's or 94'sleft at all. I do knowyou can still find them for sale ongunbroker or at gun shows but it seems they want about tripple the price. If I could I would love to get my hands on a 94 legacy 30-30 for a good price.

Got some, like 'em (especially my 375 H&H Supergrade).
Not out to buy more....
Not as long as CZ has what I want...
Win never chambered any of the RUMs, and I hold that against them.
Theydid goshort stroke crazy IMHO.

If you like the M-70s there are plenty of worthy "knock offs" of that action.

I know a guy that bought 2 300 wsm's in December before news of the plant closing. One was a SS featherweight and the other was a 300 wsm supergrade. I can tell you this the workmanship on those 2 guns would make one puke. Lousy checkering,inletting work, cheap bedding and tool marks on the reciever and in the raceways...No wonder they went out of business

I currently own just one Winchester, a pre-'64 model 70 .30-06. I'm pretty fond of it.

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

You might as well say you have a real Winchester if you have a pre-64. My best friend has a pre64 in 300 H&H. Since the plant closing the pre-64's have taken a very nice price jump.

My only Winchester is an early model 61 that I inherited from my grandfather.

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

I have a mod 70 (270 WSM) that I bought last year. I like it o.k. but not as much as some others I own. The action is not really very smooth but visually / cosmetically it's quite nice. It's up for sale now but everybody seems to think I'm running a charity or something. The typical offer has been like $450-500 bucks. No way Jose. I've got $700 in it sans scope! Ive seen them on sites for $800-1100. However, it does shoot decently. The last range trip yielded about 1 inch groups with 130 gr Rem Premier Scirocco Bonded. It does feel / point nicely too. Overall, I'd give it a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Personally, I'll keep acquiring Sako's / Tikkas. They are my favorites.

Model 70 Classic Featherweight SS 25 WSSM...

Purchased shortly after the plant announcement...current completed sales on Gunbroker have been between 10-20% premium to my purchase price.;)

I will most likely not do any significant work on it this year. I spent most of the spring working on my muzzleloaderin preparation forthe Hog hunt I took at the begining of this month. I am also still doing some work on my Tar-hunt Mountaineer that I recently add to my slug gun collection.

I went to Bass Pro in Springfield, MO this weekend. They still have several M70 rifles available for their original price. If anyone is in the area, you may want to get there before it's too late.

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

I have many of them with no problems. I have 1873, 1894's,70's, 71's, In 70's I have all 3 actions, pre 64, post 64 and new CRF ..

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

I currently own:

M70 Classic Sporter in 7mm rem. mag. stainless steel with Walnut stock. Bought new in1997. Made only two years. Either '96 & '97 or '97 & '98, forget which.

Three M74's. Early 50's mfg.

M94 in .30-30 made in 1953.

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

Let me guess...most were all blued, synthetic, and in one of BS wssm calibers? (.223,.243wssm);)

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

Actually, they were stainless with synthetic stocks. I didn't look at all the calibers, but most were fairly common, with several WSM. Anyways, I'm not interested (I'm a lefty). But for those who want one, I think it's a good chance to grab one before they're gone for good, and being sold for triple the price.

i have a recent production 94 trapper in 44 mag

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

I have a Model 70 in 225 winchester and a Model 63.
I also have a few Browning reproductions, Model 12, Model 53, Model 92 and a Model 42

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

There is likely little if any investment value in the synthetic stocked, common caliber guns. However, the stainless guns might be worth purchasing for the actions alone. A shooter with deep pockets could turn out a reasonable semi-custom gun off of the barreled actions.

RE: Winchester rifles who has one?
 

heres my mod 70 and it shoot great. i like italot and long range with this scope, its unbelievable.
