I just bought a 1959 Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 off a gun forum up here in the great white north. I've been pondering a new offering from Winchester in 30-06 for some time, (more specifically a new Super Grade in AAA French walnut) and then magically this one popped up on the sale forum. I didn't hesitate this time fellas. If it's not pissing rain this fall I'll take it out for moose and bear on day trips. :)

Thanks fellas, i’m really excited about this one. I would really like to refinish the stock and add a orange recoil pad. Like this one…

If you are going to refinish it and add a pad why are worried about taking it out in the rain?
 
Rust I guess and I hate rain
 
Haha, I get it. I have a 1957 m-70 300 H&H I took to the eastern Brooks Range to hunt Grizzly partly to stay out of the rain. Even then I carried it in a soft water proof gun case. Have to admit the gun with the pad looked good.

I have a 1960 300 HH. It is one of my very favorites even though I've not hunted with it. It is on the short list for plains game!

Put a couple of good coats of renaissance wax on the wood and metal, imo it will make a big difference, I love the stuff

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer

Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
