[QUOTE="marc357, post: 2946668, member: 1786"] I bought a used Model 70 Stainless Sporter Classic in .300 WinMag I think in 1999 for 500.00 G-prefix w/ 5 numbers. Came in the black Tupperware stock. Seemed very nicely machined. I tossed everything but the action and had a heavy long range gun built. She's on her 2nd barrel, most accurate gun I own. In 2021 I found (my wife saw it first) the exact same gun, G-prefix w/ 6 numbers, in the consignment rack at the LGS. For 800.00 She stood back and waited for me to find it. I picked it up and said, "Wow, like a trip back in time. .300 WinMag, too!" She said, "Just take it up front and pay for it. I knew it was coming home with us the minute I saw it." This one I just installed a brake and dropped it into a Bell and Carlson Stock and she shoots Barnes 165s and 180s about 1/2". Super pleased. I also Have an FN SPR which is a Model 70 in .308 built in SC I think. Its a great gun as well. They only produced them in .308 Win and .300WSM, but they are all built on the WSM action, just different bolt face. [/QUOTE]
