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.

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.

:) Yup, brought out as a youth model in 1985, good gun.

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. :(
