Which gun to sell
 

I am about to purchase me another parker but am in disagreement with myself about which gun to sell to make this purchase go through.

I have a 2014 Winchester M70 Supergrade .270 with a vs3 scope on it or a 1947 M70 .257 bob with a period scope on it.... Or i could keep both and sell the pigeon grade superposed 12 ga....but not certain i am ready to part with it. Decision decisions.....

If it were me, I'd sell the 2014 win. Just saying

Yup, sell the late .270.




.

As the others said, from a value/general interest standpoint, the pre-64 model 70 will be more vauable than the modern one, hands down. Unless condition is poor of course.

Yea sell the new model 70

The '47 .257 Roberts is worth more than 2014 Supergrade.

Yeah thats what my mind keeps telling me. The .270 just is really nice wood and that scope makes it a rack driver. Its the one i wad leaning towards selling as it will be the easiest to replace if i eant to some day. The Bob has dome issues but is still in good mostly original condition. The main issue is how the scope is mounted. Its a Griffin and Howe detachable mount with a bear scope from the 40s or 50s. Not factory mount bit it is accurate. I need to replace the elevator peep siggt for the lyman it has on it too. It was missin when i got it.

Sell the 270 for the reasons you just posted

Unlike any other aftermarket scope mount, a G&H side mount, is value added. Double lever more than the single, but either one is still a great mount. The Bear Cub is a collectible scope, but lacks the optical quality of a Kollmorgan.

If the scope is a issue you can upgrade the 257 M 70s period scope off ebay . Unertl Hawk or Lyman Alaskan comes to mind or perhaps a early Leupold fixed power. I think low power is an advantage. Good one not real expensive. Better to replace than repair, scope repair is a gamble and can take years for good shops to complete the work.
