    How much would the value suffer on a pre 64 model 70 Winchester chambered for 375 H&H if it had been re-barreled? It has a Lyman All American scope, but I don't know the power. I don't know what the wood looks like, either. So, I guess what I should ask is a pre-64 Model 70 magnum action worth $1000?

    What is the visible difference between a pre 64 model 70? Besides black walnut, I am talking about the metal work of the gun itself. Is there any dead give aways?[?]

    Looking for any info. on a pre 64 model 70 in 30.06 sprgfld. serial # 5436**. The gun has a jeweled bolt and extensive engraving with a gold inlay elk on the bottom plate and a gold inlay bear on the bottom of the trigger guard. Underneath the bottom plate there is a FP stamped into it. On the barrel there is a oblong circle with the letter P and a W on its side within the circle. I know the gun was made in 1960, but no idea of value or rarity. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I own pre 64 model 70 I purchased it as a 300h&h. A couple of weeks ago I got around to shooting it, only to discover it has been rechambered to 300 weatherby. The gun is easily 96% otherwise.
    How much does this decrease the value?

    I know this was posted at one time, I did a search and couldn't find it. Can someone post how many pre 64 model 70s where manufactured in each caliber. I meant to print it off, but didn't, now I can't find it. I'm interested in how many 264 Win mag rifles where built, not featherweights.
    Thanks for your induldgence.

    I have a '61 .264 and a '59 Varmint .243. Both have the origional plastic butt plates like you describe and both are slightly undersize. I don't know whether the plates shrink or the stocks swell over time.

    I have a few laying around, one or two without the tip, but they may be that small size you mention.

    Winchester, in relation to the buttplate all of their firearms, and/or the recieverss on lever actions, the butt stocks, and/or forearms are made on the "proud" side. Proud is the term used to describe a fit when one of the two mating pieces is larger than the other.

    If you ever come across one being described as being in "original condition", and the stocks are undersized to the reciever and furniture, buyer beware!

    Best

    I'm having trouble getting Photobucket to work so I'm not presently able to show a photo of the buttplate, but it measures 4.88" long, 1.6" wide and 3.4" between the screws (center-center). the top screw in angled down, similar to the buttplates with the spur and the checkering pattern is the same pattern with the V at the top and the diamond at the lower screw hole. Let me know if this will work for you, in the meantime, I'll continue to see if I can get Photobucket going.

    The photo looks worse than real life, but maybe you can see if it would work for you.
