Expert opinions needed
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2017 4:55 pmI have a Winchester model 70 , my son inherited from his grandfather whom inherited from his father.#35455 so assume it was produced 1954,Mauser action,safety,etc, pre 64 all looks original, checkered stock etc..on barrel ..Stamped on rifle left side....Winchester proof steel-model 70-Winchester trade mark-7M/M. Then 7 MM REMINGTON MAGNUM.No serial number on action. Serial number on right side of barrel .
My question is from reading the 7MM Remington Magnum did not come out until 1962?
All 7MMs were 7 Millimeter Mausers, but states 7 MM Remington magnum, and have read somewhere Winchester did not produce this round in a Model 70 until after the Pre 64 was changed?
The rifle is in exceptional condition stock may have been re finished over the years to original and is glossy finished. Any insight would help
