A 1964 Model 70 in 225 Win just sold for $785 after 12 bids on GB 9/10/23. The GB ad states Pre64 but the rifle sold is not a Pre64, it is a 64 pushfeed. I think all 225 Winchester Model 70’s were 1964 & later. Since 225 Win caliber Model 70’s are kind of scarce and post 64 Model 70 30/06’s are...

He was as genuine and trustworthy as they come. His articles were based on his true life experiences and have been a true inspiration to me. I liked the story about his hunting encounter near the Mexican border with the Game Warden who carried 2 badges. The story about the Idaho Game Warden who...
