Well guys, I just couldn't leave well enough alone before leaving the States. You all know I've been looking for a pretty M70 in 270 Win for my son for quite some time now to match his sister's rifle. In light of Winchester shifting M70 assembly to Portugal, I decided that it would be better to find a used Super Grade made entirely in the US than to hold out and keep looking for a brand new one with pretty wood assembled in a different country. Well I found one right before we split from a great guy in Oregon. She is clean as a whistle and he says that she only has about 100 rounds down the pipe. Also, she prefers the 140 AB. That's fine by me, as his sister's rifle is the same way. Anyway, here they are:

Jeeze! That is beautiful! What a great score. Is that a NH rifle?

Ain't nothing much a 270 Winchester and 140AB or 150PT won't fix. Great score for your boy!
 
Nice stick. Lovely character. I can't imagine a boy not being pleased with that.
 
Thanks guys. Scotty, this one came out of SC. She's got a 2011 pedigree as I recall. It sucks not being able to start load work ups for it, but she'll still be in the safe when we get back.

What a great find!! I am sure that your son will think that it is the best present he could ever receive :mrgreen:!
One of the very best calibres on the market!

Blessings,
