…Model 70, pre or post 1963, was never designed nor intended by its manufacturer to make sub MOA groups. Not even the target and varmint styles of the Model were guaranteed by New Haven to do so. Particularly in the magnum calibers. The basic action design is not suited…
…with the action bolts.with a torque wrench, and the expenditure of quantities of loading components. But like a golf club, a standard Model 70 .300 Win Mag is ill suited to the task.
It used to be conventional wisdom that the short magnums delivered best accuracy at close to maximum

…agree with Nevada +1 for sure.
Also are you shootings sub MOA with any other hunting rifle? Could be you with that Model 70.

… doesn’t get much better than ‘a first day Model 70’

…has worked for me, specifically the .300 Winchester and either of the Remington or Weatherby sevens.
I don't recall whether the 1969 Model 70 barrels were furnished with a 1 in 10 twist or a 1 in 12, very probably the former. However, there are some very, very long bullets available these

…believe Model 70s in 300 Win mag use a 1-10, as does not Remington 700 BDL. My 1952 Model 70 in 300 H&H is also a 1-10.

…Guys-
Eureka!!! Pauline is "DA' MAN"!!! She does have M70 records covering that period.
I'd suggest anyone with a similar question to mine ask her first. Getting a SNA date is a very reasonable $15 or…
…$25 with a letter on her letterhead. I'm getting a letter to keep with the rifle...
Model 70 s/n 12 was indeed stamped on January 20, 1936. First day of M70 serialization. Pauline was also able to tell me the total number of M70s

Had you seen this one? Sold for $4270 (which included the juice):

… Was Model 70 S/N 6 destroyed in the Yearout fire like Model 54 S/N 2 was which was also a .30Gov’t06?
…good and it's not full of holes, but as you point out it will never be "original" again!!!
I find it interesting to consider where these early M70s got sent. S/N 1, discussed in an American Rifleman article, was sold by a Hardware store in Durango CO in 1937. S/N 2, as documented by Rule and…
…Bob Porter, was in the hands of Ethel Lied in Reamstown PA, but we don't know where it was originally sold. S/N 4 is the one pictured in the Model 70 "Green Brochure" but its subsequent fate is unknown. It's not on the current CFM inventory so the factory probably didn't keep it... S/N 6 was…
…by WACA. S/N 12 was ordered by F.A. Horn a gunsmith in Oak Harbor WA. I'm not aware of the origins of the any of the other first (20) M70s, they were seen/recorded at various gun shows over the years...
But I get the sense that Winchester might have shipped much of the first batch…
…of M70s out West...
Best,
Lou

…the advance collector. Good luck with your endeavor. I will say that it looks a lot better now than when I first saw it. Did you see the Model 70 .300 Savage that was on Guns International. It was kind of a train wreck. The barrel was reblued, but the barrel markings looked correct. I
