1949 Mod. 70 270wcf bench rest rifle info
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2015 5:30 pm
I own a Winchester 70 and was hoping for some insight as to rarity and value. The rifle is in 117,000 serial range. Caliber is 270WCF. Barrel is a factory Winchester marked, 24" long and is just less than the diameter of a nickel. Scope is an early Lyman Super Target Spot. Bench rest stock appears to be original to the rifle.
I can't seem to find any others like it in the usual places, gunbroker, arms int, etc. Also can't seem to find anything in the blue book. My only thought is it is a factory ordered 270wcf cal. target model, but how would i know for sure.
Any info on history, rarity or value would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PJ
