Traded for a Winchester M70 today...

[hoytinak]

Picked up a very good condition M70 .243 today that I plan on making my deer rifle. It's got a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 on it. Smooth action, looking forward to testing some rounds soon. I was just wondering if some could give me a manufactoring date? Serial is G101****. Thanks

I really enjoy my M70's and I'm sure you will as well.

Should be a '71 model or early '72
