Shrapnel, Jan. 21, 2017 – Buffalo, Wyo – Estate auction – 27 Winchester Lever actions and a couple of Colt revolvers- listed in South Dakota Auctions – I can’t make it there, thought you might find something you like
Hello, I would like to introduce myself, my main interest is the Winchester Model 71. I have a lot to learn and I thought this would be the best place to start. I spoke to Bert Hartman and if everyone is as helpful and knowledgeable as he is then I think I came to the right place,..Gerry

Welcome, Gerry. Hope you’ll feel at home here. I’m a fan of the 71 and the 348 cartridge but quite honestly I enjoy working with every centerfire cartridge I’ve explored and may very well have fallen off the deep end with Winchester rimfires.
What draws you to the 71, Gerry? Is it the cartridge or the rugged and handsome 1886/71 action? Or something else? Both?

Hi Mike, I was always a fan of the 71, the history, looks and the power of the 348, I’m fascinated by the craftsmanship of the prewar 71s
Welcome! Hands down a great place to learn. Having said that, don’t be shocked if that ‘ mostly interested in model 71’s,’ grows to’ mostly anything winchester’…..

Looks like you were absolutely correct, I’ve developed an interest in the Model 64, this could develop into a very expensive hobby!

I’m in a small town 40min South of Denver, CO. I joined mostly to find out more information on my father’s 1959 Model 70 .300 H&H Magnum. I don’t hunt, so I’ve only taken it target shooting so far. I put a Vortex scope on it and am working on getting it sighted in. I also had the stock refinished and had a gunsmith go over it to clean it and verify it’s safe to shoot. It’s a beautiful weapon! I’d love to hear any stories or history about similar rifles!

'59 Model 70 .300 H&H Magnum
Hello to all Winchester collectors and admirers;
My name is Joe Friday. I’m in Greenville, NC. I grew up shooting Winchester shotguns and rifles–they’ve always had a special place in my heart for their craftsmanship and beauty. I inherited 2 Winchesters: a mid-60s Model 70 in .243, with a Weaver V9 scope, and a Centennial ’66 rifle. I have acquired a pre-64 model 94 (1956 vintage), and 9422 XTR, and just recently bought a 1964 model 100 in .308
thanks, and have a great day.
