So last week a buddy text me about a “Sporterized Mauser” in 30-06. As @GunnyUSMC pointed out to me, it was actually a 1903 that had been sporterized. I picked the rifle up for $175 OTD. Picked it up yesterday. Gun is in great shape for its age. Think I did pretty well.
Well, today the same buddy called me and said he had a deal I wouldn’t be able to pass up. I knew I was in trouble. I didn’t really want to buy another gun. But I figured I’d humor him. Well, it’s a Winchester M70 Extreme Weather with a aftermarket muzzle brake (they don’t come with them) and 20MOA rail.....in 338 WinMag. 1/2 box down the tube. I don’t need it. But if it’s a deal.....I know plenty about M70’s. But this rifle, new, is ~$1,200+tax without the brake or rail. Are they worth the money? What does the community feel would be a good price to pay for this rifle to get a good deal?
FYI, I bought it. Just wondering if I did alright.
