Any Pre 64 Winchester M70 experts
Hi all,
I have recently come into possesion a Pre-64 Winchester M70 in .30-06 caliber. I've been told that this paticular gun is quite rare has it does not have iron sights. All pre-64 Winchesters came with iron sights with the exception of a limited quantity produced by winchester for a gun distributer called Gopher Stooting Supply. Hence this gun is labled a "Gopher Special" I was wondering if there is anyone out there that may have additional info on these "Gopher Specials". Thanks |

It is also common for the owners to remove the iron sights if they are not used. Possible also to be rebarreled? Not that cut and dry.
