    Winchester m70 223

    Hey team,

    In the near future, I'm thinking about selling my Winchester m70 feather weight in 223. Just out of curiosity, what's people's thoughts on value?
    I know it's how long is a piece of string.

    Cheers bevan

    plurry hard one.
    really nice rifles BUT really hard to sell anything at the moment...on plus side its 223 on minus side will be 1;10 or 1;12
    easy to get to shoot well...classic rifle but your competeing with a new Savage etc at under a grand
    without seeing it

    $700 and hope for the best????

    Twist rate will be your enemy. Whilst nothing wrong with the standard 55-60g variety. People (me included) prefer the faster Twist rate to stabilize the heavy projectiles available. Someone will be happy with a 1.10 to 1.12.

    I have one, yes we'll?
    My take is put a big price on as you can always come down. My 2c wait till later in yr, when all the mud clears a bit.

    Is it pre-64? If it is, the twist rate won't matter.

    Nope junk absolute junk.
    I'll shout you a pie and take it off your hands.
    It would go well with my equally shit circa 1990 lightweight 243.

    Normal wear n tear is just character, they actually look much better being stripper off of that shiny stuff.
