Is the winchester model 70 called something else? im trying to find the value on some websites and none have the model 70 listed

its not a pre 64 btw

I have a firearms pricing book.... what ya lookin for?

Westerner?

Several common names for different options on a model 70...

ok ill check thanks its a synthetic stock 30.06 any idea on value? no scope

W/ a metal floor-plate or without?

If it's without, I'm bettin it's a "shadow".

pics would help identify the gun

this look like it? No floorplate and should have the flying "W" on each side of forearm?

thats it thanks darden

They also made a Black Shadow that had a floorplate, the Flying W stocked guns were sold primarily at Walmart in the day, the others at the regular retailers.

Notice the floorplate:

im getting the guy to check is one higher priced than the otherim guessin?

it has no floor plate and does have the flying w

IIRC the "Flying W" version was a package gun, came with a Winchester branded Simmons scope for about $450/$475 range in the late 90's, I bought 5 of floorplate version from Bass Pro shops in 30-06 for $288 ea, this was during the settlement of the Marlin Lawsuit over the MR-7, it would have been 98-99yr. I put Boyd's JRS Classic laminated pepper stocks on them and gave them to my FIL, BIL, cousins and my dad for Christmas that yr.

well i went ahead and bout it hopefully i can get it to shoot and put some good glass on it if not ill just try to sell

The one in that clipping is actually the floor-plated one if ya look close. Had one of the "flying w" package guns in 7mag as my first rifle when I was 13 or so. Someone stole it in a home robbery when I was 18. From what I remember it was a great lil gun once I got that simmons off and put a nikon on it.

best of luck to ya with it. with a stock upgrade/bottom metal and a lil bedding that thing would be a heck of a rifle.

The black shadow model can be made to shoot, my Brother in Laws and mine are true one holers at 100yds, put it in a Boyd's JRS Classic, bed the action, 2 " forward of the action and you will be surprised at what it will do. If it is a non-floorplate model, it can be converted for less than $50 with Winchester bottom metal from eBay.

This is exactally what I did to mine. It still wears the same plastic stock and shoots pretty darn good. I've killed serveral deer and a few hogs with it. I lost a big hog with it to though.

thanks for the info guys ill let you know how it shoots
