This is my pre-64 300 H&H with a new piece of original wood. What happened to the original stock would take to long to write but let me say that the new stock is nicer then the first. This rifle was made in 63 and after reading Winchester`s 1961 catalog all standard model 70`s came with what they call a Monte Carlo stock. Turning to page 19 of the catalog, it lists modifications for the M-70 with a stock with no cheekpiece costing and extra $96.95 while removing the Monte Carlo is just $14.80.... As an investment, pre64 model 70`s in good condition are hard to beat. I paid $1700 for a pre-war pre-64 in 375 H&H and sold for $4000.... "Precious metal" is hard to beat... This 300 H&H will be a shooter for me with a number of 200gr handloads waiting to be shot....

Great rifle in a classic do-all chambering.
If you've gotta hunt with a rifle, that one is hard to beat.

Don’t discount the old classic with new mono bullets at lighter weights. My 30R Blaser gives very close to 300HH ballistics and 165GMX or 180 partitions are all I’m looking at using from it. I do like the old 300, I spent a long time looking for a single shot in the rimmed version with no luck, when the 30R was located.
