Model 70 identification - Black Shadow?
Posted: Sun Nov 03, 2013 6:02 pm
I just acquired a model 70 .270 Win that I believe is a Black Shadow. It looks like all the Black Shadow pictures you can find with a google search and matches the description. The only thing that makes me wonder if I am wrong is that on Winchester's website under the historic product description, it says that the Black Shadow has a hinged floorplate, but mine is a blind magazine.

Is it possible that their own description is wrong or that different versions were made during it's production? All you Black Shadow owners out there, does yours have a floor plate or blind magazine. Is there another model nearly identical?
