Gentlemen, it’s time to grab your tickets for the 2022 Scout Sniper Association rifle raffle! Since the topic of this thread is US government Model 70’s, I thought it would be the best place to give you guys a heads-up on this M70 raffle. I’m the SSA member who donated the rifle and in previous posts in this thread I shared photos of some of the original USMC take-off parts that were used on this build. It was a difficult build, but it 100% historically accurate. If you guys liked the photos and information I’ve posted in this thread, then you’ll definitely enjoy the write-up and high resolution photos in the SSA link below!

This year’s rifle is pretty epic, it’s a Vietnam War era Winchester M70 clone that’s been built with original USMC take-off parts and a civilian receiver in the USMC M70 serial number range! The SSA is a great organization and all the funds raised from this raffle will be used to support the USMC sniper community (lots of gear and supplies gets send to active duty and deployed units!). Please check out the SSA’s website to learn more about the organization and what they do. The drawing for this raffle is going to be held on March 17th (03/17, the USMC Scout Sniper MOS), I wish best of luck to all those who participate! Please let me know if you have any questions about the raffle, rifle or the SSA.

Here’s a link to the SSA’s website, it has all the raffle rifle information and a some great photos of the gun! You can only purchase tickets through the SSA’s website:
