Item is for: Sale Only
Sale Price: $1200
Caliber: 308
Willing to Ship: No
Bill of Sale Required?: No
Item Description: Price reduced.
Winchester model 70 stainless .308. Stainless rings, and a stainless Leupold 4-12x Vari-X IIc scope. Adjustable trigger.
Imo 4-12 is perfect for deer hunting in GA. You can now own the prettiest deer rifle around.
The stock is fiberglass, not plastic. I put a Limbsaver butt pad on because the original pad was hard as a rock.
The sling swivels are real stainless steel, not cheap Chinese crap that looks like chromed potmetal. The rifle, scope, rings, scope mount, and sling swivels all have exactly the same sheen, which can easily go awry when buying different stainless steel bits. The "exactly the same sheen" really grabs the eye.
I expect that everyone has heard of barrel tuning devices that consist of a muzzle weight that one can micro-position to change the behavior of the barrel for your favorite round. Winchester and Browning both made rifles with their BOSS integrated barrel tuners for only a couple years during the '90's, so these are now hard to find. The rimfire crowd seems to swear by barrel tuners. The large caliber crowd has people both for and against, each with (of course) strong opinions. I spent a day shooting 5rd groups at different BOSS settings and it seemed to work really well for me. I started with the setting that Browning recommended for 150gr. I couldn't find a specific Winchester recommendation. That led to terrible 2.5 MOA groups, but as I adjusted the BOSS a half turn each time, I worked my way down to 3/4 MOA groups. When the group size started opening up again, I backed off and fired more rounds to confirm.

Note that there is also Browning BOSS documentation out there that is applicable.
I have the trigger set to 2.1lbs, an average of 10 tests.
One of the problems with buying used rifles is that too often the bores look like crap because someone didn't take care of the rifle. Not only is this rifle stainless steel so the bore MUCH less prone to rust pitting, but I've checked it carefully with a borescope and the bore looks great.
What discolorations are visible in the pics are just oil smears.
I'll drive an hour to help with the linkup. I move between Savannah and Milledgeville weekly.
