M70 Classic laredo

[anseitz]

What would you guys recommend regarding a rifle of mine. I have a mint condition M70 Classic Laredo,HS precision stock, Boss, aluminum bedded) chambered in 7mm Rem. Seeing as the Winchester name is going away, should I keep it as being possibly worth something or shoot it out and keep it as a possible build gun. The rifle shoots in the .2s consistently so should I leave it in prime shape or continue to shoot the fool out of it? Oh, and does anyone know if a gunsmith can re-install the Boss on a new barrel if that is an option?

I would shoot it. Life is too short not to be out shooting as much as A fella can & keep the bills & Fam all happy. How much are you really going to make off this rifle in your life time??? I doubt it would amount to too much, or may bee I'm wrong. Any good smith in you area can thread on your next tube including the Boss. I don't no bud but I vote for shooting it. Especially if you have shot it already, which is obvious you have.

Attached is a picture of a great shooting Factory rifle.
Please take a young person out with you next time you go though.

Have fun Russ

Vote #2 for shooting it. Winchester will never die anyway.
