I couldn't resist, Winchester Model 70

[Bruce Mc]

Nice! My model 70 7mm Rem Mag likes 160 accubonds with H-1000 and 175 partitions with Retumbo.

Thats a great looking rifle and a great scope planned. Those Winchesters are such nice rifles and a 7Mag. is such a potent and useful cartridge. Enjoy! CL

Purty!

I'm not a big 7RM guy, but that"s probably just left over from arguments in fifth grade with my then best friend Sean about if the 7 was better than the '06. Dumb!

Very nice rifle. Hope you get lots of enjoyment of it. One of the rifles I have always admired. Dan.

AYE!

Winchester Model 70 Super Grade, with the French walnut, chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum.

A very fine rifle in my favorite all-round cartridge. Beautiful!

Ever since selling my nice 375 H&H Model 70, I've been wanting to buy another good-looking Winchester Model 70. This one showed up on my horizon, and I scooped it up!

Winchester Model 70 Super Grade, with the French walnut, chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum. You good folks know that is one of my favorite general purpose hunting cartridges. It's a lightly used rifle, one ding in the stock. I'm looking forward to scoping this one and hunting with it.

Regards, Guy

Great looking rifle in an excellent caliber. I hunted with the 7Mag for quite a few years from Deer to Elk and never had a complaint.

 

[preacher]

Beautiful sir! I hope you have a ball with it too!

A Winchester Featherweight chambered in 7mm RM was one of my first acquisitions upon arriving in Canada. That particular rifle has witnessed the harvest of a variety of animals over the years of my residence. It is definitely one of my favourite cartridges.

Wow , That's an awesome looking piece. I just sold a M 70XTR Sporter 7Rem Mag last year. In hindsight I should have kept it and rebarreled it.

We all have that one rifle we should have kept.

We all have that one rifle we should have kept.

Or two rifles.

Mine was a 444 Marlin that shot cloverleafs. Ironically traded it for an M70 varmint rifle

 

[flyingagg]

Thats one sexy rifle.

 

[Charlie-NY]

I would have trouble walking away from that one too. Beautiful!

Funny how them levers can shoot so well huh? My oldie but goodie.

 

[Thebear_78]

Thinking I'll top it with a 3.5-10x Leupold, or something similar.

Guy

These high gloss blued rifles really derserve a glossy blued scope, they just don’t look right with a matte scope. Better start scouring eBay for a gloss leupold.

 

[Vince]

Congratulations on a beautiful representation of the Rifleman’s Rifle.

Very nice!
The suggested Leupold's would all work well on this rifle for you...and as much as I like matte scopes, there is a bit of truth in the suggestion of a gloss scope for this rifle...it would pair nicely! (Having the same thoughts for a scope for the Ruger No.1 in 218 Bee I just acquired)

I think too many people go to the 300 Win Mag, when they would be better served by going with a 7mm Rem Mag.
And over the years, I have witnessed far too many gun store sales people with little shooting and hunting experience, pushing new or relatively inexperienced shooters (men, women and youth) into the 300 Win Mag, when they would be better served with a 7mm Rem Mag (or 270/280/30-06) for deer, moose and elk hunting, where the main goal was deer.
Less recoil for beginners and less experienced shooters, that still has enough bullet weight, velocity and penetration for most North American game that they will be hunting, and less recoil to ensure that they do not develop a flinch, and therefore become better shooters.
