    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle Amazing...Remington must have taken extra special care in building these rifles. All I have heard is good things about the way they shoot. Will be trying hard to find one. I had heard they may re-release it for 2009. Anyone else heard this?

    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle Also as a side note, since these rifles appear to be almost impossible to find, is there a recipe for building my own replica out of components that are more available. I had thought about finding the correct stock and building one out of a...

    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle When doing a M40 on a new Remington are there markings that are replicated on the reciever and barrel that help it appear more like an original. As for the M70 is it the same way. I can see that starting with a M40 reissue might be easier...

    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle Sounds like I'm talking to the right guys. I'm pretty well decided on doing an M70. I hope to make it a shooter and not so much a safe queen. I think ill start looking for a good pre 64 action or rifle. Are the Winchester M70 target rifles I...

    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle I understand that truly. I used to have a very nice 45ci Flathead that I restored and everyone told me I should garage it, but I put 2500 miles on it in one summer. Some of the best riding experience I had. Both good and bad. But that bike...

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle Damn fine rifle. How does it shoot? Get any hairy eye balls when you pull it out at the range. I guess I should ask the question.

    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle Let me throw this out to you fella's. I'm abit torn between doing a M70 and a M40. I want a great shooting rifle that is on par with a modern tactical rifle, yet I want to stay clear of the current rash of space age long guns and build...

    Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle

    Re: Winchester Model 70 Marine Corps Sniper Rifle Has anyone bought one of these rifles, or built thier own. What would a good starting point be? Any type of M70 Pre 64 more sought after and in so being better to use for this project?
