“Crude????”Those are some crude rifles for that much money- hard to believe.
Yes. Like an old war surplus type feel“Crude????”
That’s a new one I’ve never heard before. All my pre-war Model 70’s “feel” as far from “surplus” as anything I can imagine. Kind of wonder how all the top tier custom gunsmiths choose and make due with these “surplus” actions. Must be a cost savings over them and the Salvage and Tikka actions some rave about on here????Yes. Like an old war surplus type feel
Alcohol will dull your horse trader instincts. I know from experience.I`ve made wonderful deals between 1&2 am. Then woke up in the morning,to the question "How did this get here ?". I quit the juice. JeffI see ads for Tikka Master Sporters with high prices all the time. $1800-2600 asking. I paid $1200 for a nice 22-250 and $1400 for a minty 308. I’d had a “few” beers when I bought the 308.![]()

Yes. Not many 300 Winchester’s made, obviously. I imagine lots of 220does cal affect the price ,,,,I have .220 swift in about the same condition,,,???
Just wondering what distinction you are drawing between pre and post war commercial Mauser actions. Why do you favor pre-64 action over commercial Mauser action?im not sure I’d classify a Model 70 as crude. Considering when and how it was manufactured. It is certainly above a FN Commercial Mauser and the Mannlicher Schoenauer of pre-war vintages. Today we have such a plenty of quality actions we forget that our grandfathers weren’t so fortunate.
To answer the OP. The 300 Win Mag chambering is rare as it was only done in the last year of production of the “pre-64” model 70. If it is fully in original configuration it will command a big price.
