Very nice rifle, buckstix!

I am a big fan of the Model 70 Classic. I think they are hugely underappreciated. For what reason, I don't know. I think Winchester ruined all the good will associated with the Model 70 when they cheapened it in 1964 and later. Then when they restored its glory with the Classic series it was too late. A new generation had no appreciation or nostalgia, so the offering fell on rocky ground.

I have a nice pair of Classic Safari Express rifles in .458 Mag. and .375 Mag. They are well-built, accurate, and pleasing to the eye. I reported on them 4-1/2 years ago at this thread:

Win M70 Classic Safari Express x2

Congratulations on your find. I have not yet had the pleasure to try one of the products of the Winchester custoom shop.

Stay warm!
