Hi guys!
New from SA and a huge Winchester fan. I hunt with a 1947 Model 70 "carbine" in 7x57 and shoot anything from Duiker (Dog size) up to Eland (Cattle size).
I am trying to find info on how many model 70 "carbines" were ever built?
Hi from South Africa

Welcome to the forum.
According to Roger Rule on page 85 of his Model 70 book a total of 7,197 pre 64 carbines were produced. On page 100 he indicates only 1,470 7MM rifles were produced in all configurations. You have quite a rarity there for sure. The only carbine chambering more rare than yours is the .35 Remington. |

Thanks guys!
As soon as I use my other computer I will post some pictures. After all these years it still shoots 0.8 to 0.9 MOA! |
