Anyone read the lastest issue of Field and Stream with "The 50 Best Guns Ever Made" article? Topping the list was the Win Model 70 (pre-64). Informative with info on all the guns named.

Do you think you could send me the list at [email protected]???

I'd be interested in reading that article. Think you could scan it and post it up? Or, perhaps a link to it?

Hello LOSTHWY.
If I am not mistaken, Marine Corps SNIPERS used the WIN 70{pre-64} in Korea.
Remington MOD 700 in Vietnam.
03-SPRFIELD in World War 2.



KEEP ON ROOTING!!!!

Nice list but I wouldn't put a pre-64 overrated Model 70 at the top of it no way

bigcountry

I would. Its still a good gun good, and one of the most popular. Its very overrated, not needed, but still stands good in the gun world.

oldelkhunter

BC its a well made gun and I wish new guns were made the same way but it has some design flaws especialy the gas handling system that are a little scary.

bigcountry

I guess I would change my mind if I ever had a case eruption. And knock on wood, I havn't. Thank goodness.
