Hello everyone. Just stumbled across this site looking for information on pre-64 Winchester M70s.
I'm a semi-retired long time hunter and shooter... everything from grey squirrels to elk, quail to goose, smallbore 4-position to silhouette to IPSC to trap and skeet to high power match shooting. I like shooting at longer ranges, and am decent at it... but a man has to know his own limitations.
I love accurate rifles and handguns. I'm a huge Winchester M70 fan, and like controlled-round feed bolt actions (M70s, Mausers, Kimbers, etc.) and single shots (Rugers, Winchesters, Martinis). I like everything rimfire, and the Hornets (.22, .17), .243 Winchesters, and the '06, but have many rifles in other calibers... probably too many. The new trend of short-for-caliber cartridges with long-for-caliber bullets (6 GT, 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, 7 PRC, etc.) has really grabbed my attention. As I get older, I find I enjoy stalking, the single well-placed shot, and accurate, flat-shooting rifles.
Looking forward to learning from you all and contributing where I can.
