Walking around a gunshow yesterday, I come across a pre-64 Winchester Model 70, caliber 30-06. It's serial number now tells me it was made in 1949.
Very clean wood, but someone installed a Decelerator on it. Done well, though. Pretty clean metal, maybe 90%, good crown and muzzle, with two extra holes in the side of the receiver (side mount for scope, I'm sure, not the standard aperture sight mounting holes).
Price?
Holy bleep! $450!
And then.....it pains me to even relate this part...
I let my father talk me out of buying it!
