Seeking Info on New Winchester (M70)
Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2022 6:44 pm
Needless to say it has been more than a task to locate any bolt action rifle from Winchester, namely the featherweight with wood stock. There are not many, if any dealers that have any and those that have a limited quantity (One) will not send any pictures nor are interested in selling. Those that I have seen photos of have a few distractions: wood blemishes or wood that not any wish to have and bluing problems. Many hide the critical areas in displaying the photos: some chopping off the butt stock, all not showing the breech or bolt face. One seller on Gunbroker said the bluing discoloration was from fingerprints. Well, if any believe that I cannot determine fingerprints from discoloration, this is merely conjecture and foolhardy. And, all offer no returns, sold as is and final. What i believe is that those models being sold are ones that not anybody wishes to buy. I've searched GunsInternational, Guns.com, GunsAmerica, and every possible outlet online. I even called local gun shops in my area and there is no response. One person (Nagels) was offering one but said he did not know how to send pictures to email. After looking up the reviews, I found Nagels to be a shady seller with many negative comments.

Anyways, I called Winchester and they said they're still being manufactured. I said but no one has them. Winchester said to call a dealer and they could order. I tried that avenue and was unsuccessful. Could any provide insight here or point me in the right direction. All replies are welcome.
