KirkV Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Has anyone had much experience with this gun. My buddy won one at a elk banquet last year and I am thinking of buying it from him to use on my elk hunt if I get drawn. From a asthetics point it has a pucky green poly stock that I could always replace but I will probably get the deal of the century from him. Thanks Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Re: Winchester model 70 300 win mag I have a couple of dozen pre 64's and love them. The only newer Winchester I own is a M-670 264 mag. I would buy it especially if you are going to get a deal. If it turns out to not be what you want you can always get your money back. I would change the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Winchester model 70 300 win mag I have a Model 70 Classic in 338 Win Mag that is a very decent shooter after a bedding job. The Model 70 is a decent gun and should server you well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Winchester model 70 300 win mag Just about any gun that is a "deal of the century" is worth picking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Winchester model 70 300 win mag I've got a Model 70 in .300 Win Mag. I never shot a factory load through it. But I've got it to go 5/8" for 5 shots at 100 yards with 180 gr. reloads. It will shoot 1' to 1 1/4" all day with about any load I ever tried. My current loading is a 180 gr. Speer Grand Slam over some IMR-4350 to the tune of 3050 fps. That will flatten any elk (deer, moose, bear, caribou, etc) that you feel needs flattening. Buy it!!
