Good news, Roy! I had heard rumors earlier this year that FN, the parent company that owns Browning and the now defunct USRA would reintroduce some of the Winchester brand rifles and figured the Model 70 would have to be the first one. I would imagine the M94 wouldn't be too far behind. |

of course msrp is usually a lot higher than what they actually sell for, maybe i will buy one in a .270 since they are pre64 like actions i would like to see one in a .264mag i would buy that.

Love it! Looks like the biggest change is the new trigger. I actually like the original trigger - simple, simple, simple.
264 win mag would be cool if they'd back it with some new factory ammo in various loadings/bullets.
Pulled out my last Winchester Catalog, a 2006 edition. The rifles may not be indentical but I've listed some suggested retail prices for comparison. All were CRF.
Model 70 Super Grade III, Blued: $1036 standard calibers, $1076 magnum calibers
Model 70 Featherweight, Blued: $762 standard calibers, $792 WSM
Model 70 Sporter III, Blued: $742 standard calibers, $773 magnum and WSM
Model 70 Shadow Elite, Camo, Fluted Stainless (no mention of Bell and Carlson stock): $808 standard calibers, $839 magnum and WSM |

Come on pyro6999, go for the .270 winchester, everybody has to have one of those in his collection. You know you do, but make it in a 700.

pyro6999, I could see you now, with RMS, slinking through the brush, with your new 270 winchester. You can do it.

.264 win mag? no i have a 6.5 remington mag big difference there, mine is a short action but it is a belted magnum, not near as much omph as the .264 win mag, mine 6.5 is just a hair faster than a .270 shooting a 130 grain bullet, not enough to notice, just better ballistics down range.

Wouldn't that make a great hunting show episode?!!! And what better way to honor pyro's hero, the late, great Jack O'Connor than for him to get his new .270 in the legendary Win M 70!!!! |

Awsome!!!!! I was wondering when and this is quicker then I expected. Hummmm need to start saving. Would love one in a .375 H&H we'll see if they make it in the large calibers.
