Here's my deer gun ,a Winchester Model 70 featherweight in 308 made in 1954.Love those old Winchesters.

Edgar, I shot my 1940 smoothbore 61 at a rusty oil drum 10 yards away. Perfectly round 10" pattern. I was very impressed.

Bill, were you using CCI shotshells?

Here are two Pre64 Super Grades a 300 H&H and a 220 Swift

This is one of my favorites. Built on a Ruger #1 platform it's chambered in 7MM/08. It has a 24 inch tapered octagon barrel.

It’s very nice. But it’s not a Winchester.

Sorry for the mistake. Heres a M71 Deluxe to make up for it.
Just in time for deer season I had a Pre64 M70 carbine in 7MM restored. The gun was a mess but it came out beautifully. Its raining or I'd get some pictures,

I'm not ashamed to ask - Can you show more of the Ruger, like the barrel and the right side of the frame?

And is the forend cap made of horn or some other material?

Who did the work for you?

Dean here is what I have. The for end cap is Ebony. Kip Wood of Central Michigan Gunsmithing did the work. He's the one who did Gunner's Gun.
Apparently I don't have a pic of the right side. I'll send you one if you wish.

Many nice and interesting rifles here to view! Perhaps it is me, but it does seem like Winchesters and Parkers share space in more than a few enthusiasts hearts.

Just yesterday while the deer movement was slow, I hatched a plan to next year take Barney's rifle out for some fresh air. The Pre - 64 Westerner Mdl. 70 264 Win mag. has been couped up too long. He bought that rifle brand new to take out west and he never made it. Thirty plus years back he admonished my friend and I not make that mistake .
