Well, my name is Joe and I am very new here, but not to forums. I was referred to this forum by a friend and I like the wide variety of interests here. Glad to be here...
I have a "thing" for S&W revolvers, especially the older models. I have a pair of auto pistols, but not for long..They have been interfering with a long-ish term want/goal of mine... A FN produced Winchester M70 Supergrade in 338 Win Mag...
So, I have decided to part with my S&W 1911TA E-Series Stainless and Walther PPK/S to finance my first M70. I have owned one other "W" in the past, a 1954 M94 in 32 Win Spl.
My brother is a "W" nut and he has collection of (4) m70's ranging from pre-64, to early 70's, late New Haven, to a current FN produced... Then there are his m94's, 3 of them to be exact... (2) Trappers, a 30-30 and 44 mag, and the aforementioned m94 in 32 SPL that I had previously owned... and shot my first buck with..
I have been content with my basic little Remmy 700 ADL in 270 for several years... but burning desire to get my grail rifle on my rack, the rifle my son will admire and eventually inherit from me has been ever increasing. I decided to let go of a pair of my handguns, one of which I have been very proud of to finance this new "W" for me. I decided I want to go right for the flagship with the Supergrade, and I want it in a kick-butt caliber.
Now I haven't acquired my Supergrade just yet. I am just very excited about this whole event and wanted to share. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to introduce myself.
Anyone have any feedback to share about the new FN made m70's?? I have yet to see anything bad about them. And I promise to update this thread with pics and range reports when I get mine. I look forward to reloading the 338 as well!
Regards,
Joe
