LETMGROW Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Got my new Petersen's Hunting mag. yesterday and they ran an article about the reintroduction of the Win. M 70 which is due out soon. They are claiming it to be even better than previous model 70's. I am glad to see the rebirth of this old stand by. It will be available in .243 .270 .270WSM 7mm-08 .308 .30-06 .300WSM .300 Win Mag .325 WSM. Now I wonder about the old' 94? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoBoone1 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 WHY are they leaving the 7mmWSM out of the lineup?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 While looking at wal mart online gun catalog the other day, noticed they had winchester rifles available again. Figured it was a mistake, maybe not??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Take a look at the MSRP before you get to dancing too much. I really don't pay much attention to MSRP as much as what I can actually buy it for. If the gun is as good as the review Petersen's gave it, it might just be worth it anyway. Only time will tell. The gun sure looks good on the website though. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 WHY are they leaving the 7mmWSM out of the lineup?? I've noticed the 7mmWSM hasn't been as popular as the .300 WSM and .270 WSM. Why that is I don't know. Good to see it back, might consider getting one in .270 WSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinky Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I believe winchester is being shipped from a european country or something? Correct me if im wrong but Im 99% sure theyre all made overseas now. The local gun seller told me, maybe i didnt hear right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parent company of manufacture is Fabrique Nationale Herstal of Belgium. But the guns are made by American hands on American soil.

Adjam5 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I wonder what John Moses Browning would think of these mergers and acquisitions? Funny he made guns for both companies over 100 years ago, Winchester and FN; and now they are one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neuplus4 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 M 70 Featherweight 223 WSSM Production numbers Anyone out there have creditable information on the production numbers for the Winchester M 70 Featherweights produced in 223 WSSM? I believe Winchester produced them from 2003-2006 until the Connecticut plant closed. thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
