Information about a Winchester Model 70

[jjmp]

The boss is Very tunable,Congrats on that 338 w-mag , find a good GS, cheers

OP, you do not care about the BOSS because you are not familiar with their practical worth in terms of tuning a load to shooting like a $
3500 rifle! There are adaptors which can replace the baffles and make it a non ported barrel.

@VALKYRIETP are you sure that is the correct stock? Just asking, because though it is post '64, its the classic model. Its a two piece floorplate and trigger guard.

Those are really nice stocks for the money.

I believe some of the BOSS devices, you can close the ports if you like so it is not any louder than a normal rifle.

I got a decent stock for my M70 made in the same time frame from Bell and Carlson. It has the full aluminum bedding block, and the rifle shoots great in it. I think it was 350.00 or so, new from B&C.

Thanks for the information. I get the BOSS, I just don't want a 26 inch barrel. I'm thinking more 20-22 inches. I handload so tuning loads are not a problem. HS Precision makes a stock for the Model 70. Any thoughts on those?

I'll be the odd one out and say I personally don't think the boss does a thing other than be a radial brake.

Mine loosens all the time and I stopped being so worried about it when I realized it was a full rev off and hadn't changed a thing.

Seems like another example of being fooled by noise and sample size to me, but lots of people are into them.

Your rifle, you know what you like

Can't argue with your experience. I have tried it in 11 different rifles, 10 different cartridges. It works for me.

HS Precision stocks, anybody?

 

[FEENIX]

Not many aftermarket stocks available.

A reputable GS will resolve that issue.

Screw the Boss off and screw on a suppressor.....no problem getting an adaptor for your suppressor.....
