If I was in the market, I would not hesitate for a nano second on buying a new Winchester Model 70. Love to have a have a Super Grade in .270 or .280.

I have a Super Grade in 300Win Mag,,another great shooter

Are any of the Model 70s still made in SC?

Just now saw this. Maybe parts made in SC, but not for sure.

Ok I think I’m gonna go with this. I was also looking at the Sako rifles but I much prefer the 3-position safety. Slightly shortening the barrel may balance abit better and shed some of the weight.

I've been looking at a .416 Model 70 lately. I know I want it, but my ingrained cheapness is keeping me from pulling the trigger. They seem like a great value.

I wish they’d make a M70 in .404! I’d be hurling money at it

Shoots great. Under 1 inch with factory Federal 130gr. And under an inch with 130 gr. Partitions handloads. Will have to send pics later as I am not close to the gun. Pics aren't really fair as this high grade maple changes pattern every time the light hits it differently

I picked one up off a gentleman on this site and I love it. It's my first foray into larger caliber rifles, but it's been fun!
