Good day! Welcome from SA too!
 
Welcome, certainly glad to have you here with us!!
 
Welcome to the site, and I think you'll find this to be a pretty good place to list such a rifle; albeit the members of this site really lean more towards the 243 Winchester, especially a certain member from the land of Drop Bears. ;-)
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Hello Dunderhead,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I have formerly owned several Winchester Model 70’s, including but not limited to the dreaded Pre-64 ones.
Indeed they are one of the world’s best hunting rifles.
Good luck with your sale.

If you continue in this forum after you sell your rifle, (I hope you continue here), it is very likely that you will spend that money on a .375 H&H or a .404 Jeffery.
I don’t read tea leaves or a crystal ball but, it’s predictable, just saying.:ROFLMAO:

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

That would be a real shame wouldn't it!! I will say the community here is remarkably kind and welcoming, I could see how a guy could end up turning his kid's tuition fund into a super grade or 2 :ROFLMAO:

Can you elaborate on the "dreaded Pre-64s"? I always thought those were the good ones!

Kid’s tuition vs a Super Grade Model 70 …… Great minds think alike.

Ya, “dreaded Pre-64’s” was my feeble (very feeble) attempt at humor.
Indeed those were and still are one of the best hunting rifles, as are some of the newer Model 70’s these days.

The one and only reason I sold my Model 70 collection was to help pay for more hunting and fishing adventures.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
