For Sale Winchester M70 Pre64 375 H&H

[JeffD]

This is a mid-1950s Winchester. This rifle came from a local fellow (through the local gun store) after he learned an Africa trip could not happen. I've had it a while, but not shot it more than a few times. It is said to be a good shooter and preliminary shooting on my part suggests that's so.

The barreled action is in very good shape. Bore is bright and sharp. Trigger is very good. Headspace checked and is right.

It came with what I could call a utility stock. I think (not sure) it's a refinished factory stock, somewhat reshaped. I've included pictures of the inletting and glass bedding. It is free floated and that is pretty well done. No cracks in the inletted areas or externally. Seems very solid. Clearly it was cut at some point and a thick spacer was added. LOP is 13.5" to the bottom of the decelerator pad.

I think the pictures accurately show the condition of the rifle. It would make a great African hunting rifle. It is also listed on another forum (same price there).

$1,600 shipped in the US. I have to ship from an FFL to an FFL. PM with any questions.

Thanks

Nice rifle, unfortunately my wife says it is not realistic for me to purchase every M70 that needs a new home.

Me too, Mark. That’s not my reason for selling though. It is actually very solid. The spacer is ugly, no doubt.

Wow!
$1600 for a pre 64 375 shooter in what appears to be excellent mechanical condition.

That rifle is 1/2 price.

Unfortunately the pre 64 300 h&h I just bought and haven't paid for yet took most of my funny money.

Hello NTO,
Sorry for the delay in my response. I did not get the first PM, and checked on the thread just now. For some reason I didn't see a notification of it. I will email and PM you in response now.
Thank you.
