Any Information on this rifle?
« on: December 23, 2009, 01:06:47 PM »
I am considering purchasing a Winchester model 70 in .243 for my daughter.  It is the "Ranger" version.  It appears to be a little smaller and lighter than my other model 70's.  I think it was made in the 80's, was only fired a few times, and is in like new condition.  I have other model 70's, both pre and post 64.  I like having all of my actions and safeties the same.  Any addtitonal info would be great.  Thank you.

Only info i can give is if you dont buy it pm where i can go and buy it.
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

if i am not mistaken the rangers were made to be sold through a store maybe sears. i had a 7mm one for alittle while they are just a plain model 70 with blind magazine if i am not mistaken. atleast mine was.

It is the model 70 with a plain, shorter stock, and a shorter barrel.  Buy it, you can always upgrade the stock later, and add length if needed.

You will not be sorry.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

It sold on an online auction for 355.00.  It was like brand new.  It didn't have a mark on it.  I am sure that I will find another one.  I wish i would have won the bid on that one.  :(
