Anyone have a 1936-38 pre 64 winchester model 70 in 300 H/H that they are willing to sell? I targeting that era as they have the matching blueing on the receiver and barrel. I dont think it extended into 1939 but I could be wrong
I do indeed have a first years production model 70 in 300 H&H. It is essentially a super grade without saying super grade on the floor plate. (if I remember right SN is 113X) When I got it, it had been drilled for a side scope mount similar to a G&H but that was missing and the screw spacing was not G&H so I custom built a mount and rings and my son used it in Montana to shoot his first Mule deer. He will not sell it so sorry about that. The bluing is wore on the floor plate from carrying but overall it's a very nice rifle. I can understand your attraction to them.
When I wrote the above I was going off memory which is not not for 75 year old brain cells and not having seen the rifle for a few years as my son has it in his safe. Well the serial number on ours is 4529, production year 1937. Of note is the barrel is marked 300 magnum because as I understand they were not known as H&H until Winchester came out with their own 300 win mag.
