Not expecting anyone to have this specific model, but thought it was worth a try. Not interested in variants–just this one.
Looking for a
Model 70, Laminated, Coyote Outback™, Stainless chambered in 223 Remington.
Bob-
Quite frankly, that is one Post-63 I’d be interested in. IIRC it is a well thought-out package. Only thing that kept me from buying one back in the day was a T/C Contender with a 14″ barrel that out-shoots most .223 bolt guns. Good luck, Bob.

OfflineI’d encourage anyone who can muster an open mind to look at the Winchester rifles coming out of New Haven after about 1967-68. I have two Model 70 rifles made in late 1980 – a 458 African and an XTR Magnum 375 Holland that are of excellent fit and finish.
Yes, they are both push feed actioned – like the Remington 700 and the Weatherby Mark V. But beautifully made.
The floor employees in New Haven still knew how to build fine guns when they were let. It’s a shame to tar them with the 1964 brush, which really wasn’t their fault.
