Remove the sticker and place it on a piece of wax paper in the box. Then wipe it down very lightly, with a coat of gun oil. If you leave the decal on it will make a spot, uneveness, eventually in the bluing. Especially if you do take it to the range. Absolutely, save the box . So many people discard the boxes. If you ever decide to sell it, the box is a important part in the overall value. The model 70 Super Grade is perhaps one of the finest rifles on the market. You will not be disappointed with it. When you decide to mount optics on it. Do it a favor and mount quality on it... yes it will cost you. However, it is appropriate. Talley rings and bases. Ziess, Swarovski, high quality. Apply a good quality "wood" wax to the stock and metal work. You can obtain that from Brownells. Well cared for, this rifle will be in the family for generations to come. Very nice 👌 👍 👏
The supergrade is a hunting rifle. It might or might not deliver extreme target accuracy. Appreciate the supergrade for what it is, it doesn't disappoint.
Now you have a rifle that I want to see! I know the plastic, cheap rifles that put three shots in the same hole are great, but they bore me. The M70 however, features the controlled round feed, Mauser action with a manual ejector, a three position safety and thermoplastic bedding with a free floating barrel. The trigger is phenomenal and with the beautiful walnut, checkering and engraving this is a real winner. And the best part is there is no picatinny rail and the barrel isn’t threaded!!! You did well Adam!
@dalewells5880 i always liked m70 triggers, when i started doing some research on the m70s that i own, i found out that they have adjustable triggers, so i popped them out of the stocks and fine tuned them to my preference, and also tuned them as close to the same as on another as i could. So that i can use the same squeeze on all of them and know when they will go "BANG!" the only trigger i like better is in the CZ 527 models and of course they have been discontinued....
Man that thing is fabulous. My dad always shot a pre 64 Model 70 in .270. That gun would shoot one hole groups all day long. Congratulations on a super fine rifle!
Claro Walnut is from California as I understand it. Beautiful rifle. I'd remove the sticker because it might cause corrosion over time by holding moisture.
@@ReloadingWeatherby as I've told you I run my markv deluxe in the woods snow and rain after the first scratch and dent it no longer was just to look at use them all if you wanted to just look at ,,buy a picture of it for two dollars and put that in the safe or hang it on the wall so people know you have one a picture of one that it
I can remember like it was yesterday seeing the Mark V in American Rifleman when I was 10 - 12 years old. I thought it was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. I own many nice firearms now, but I've still never owned a Mark V. I don't really know why, because I've acquired pretty much every other gun I've wanted. Except for a Mark V, and a double Holland & Holland. Good lord willing I'll add those one day.
Being a rare Winchester, there will those who will say never fire it or you'll impact the collector value. I'll never understand people who buy a tool with no intention of ever using it. Also noticed the stock was finished with open pores. I wasn't too impressed the first time I noticed these in a new rifle stock but have since come to appreciate them for the character they add to natural wood. Now it's time to make it a more valuable heirloom by taking wild game with it. Without any stories behind it, a firearm is just a hunk of metal and wood. Congratulations on a great find.
What a great find, congratulations! The gorgeous Claro walnut stock with the high-gloss finish receiver & barrel look amazing. I have a similar Browning sticker on my T-Bolt. It is still there after 8 years of shooting. Your choice on whether it stays. High-gloss rings & high-gloss scope will highlight the beauty of the Model 70 Super Grade.
I find something like this each and every month😳 being a 60+ year collector I just don’t go to the store otherwise I WILL bring something home! Gunaholic with No recovery in sight 🤣
My dad had one of the original model 70 .338 Alaskans that he bought when they came out in 1958 and it was his go to rifle right up until he died in 2016.
I'm 70 and spent a lot of working years in both the firearms retail as well as wholesale business. I've always loved firearms and have hunted my whole life. Gun calibers have always interested me...and quite frankly, people's interest in them has actually amused me. You see there is only so much you can do with a rifle cartridge without it becoming something armies refer to as artillery. I've watched the popularity of various calibers come and go, be re-discovered, or new ones come out which aren't much different ballistically to calibers which were popular many years ago. Every generation seems to popularize a caliber they can kind of call their own. In my early hunting years those calibers were 30/06, 30/30 and 35rem. Oh there were many others, some of which you hardly hear about today...like .257roberts, .308win, 300savage, 6mmRem. As I got older .270 became the go to caliber and 7mm08 gained popularity. Then we went through the Ultra Mag calibers and short mag calibers like 7UL 270wsm etc. Now the popular caliber is 6.5 Creedmor of course....and that's kind of funny as I have experience with a Swedish 1896 Mauser in 6.5 Swede with a 28inch barrel that will do everything a 6.5 Creed can do. As for that my 7mm08 will as well. It's funny because ammo and firearms manufacturers in order to keep interest levels up are constantly re-inventing the caliber wheel....and we appreciate that for sure. But when it comes down to hunting, I used to tell customers this when they asked what the best deer caliber was. I'd point to the rifle wall and say "any caliber up there that is legal to hunt deer with if used within the effective range of that caliber and with good shot placement will kill a deer. Yes, there are some which are more forgiving of poor shot placement.The only caliber I ever shot a bunch of deer with and the deer dropped on the spot was 30/30win.........and though I still have a few, I haven't hunted with that caliber in decades. I aim for a heart/lung shot and with calibers like .270 , .308 and 7mm08, the bullet often zips right through and the deer runs for 30-60 yards and then tumbles stone cold dead. Knowing that, you might ask why I don't hunt with my 30/30's? Well I guess just like today's generation is enamored with 6.5 Creed...I became the same with the popular calibers of my generation.
Having a freedom seed dispenser and not dispersing freedom seeds with it is just plain goofy. You will take it to the range regardless of the view count. 😂😂
@@WHOTEEWHO u got me txt laughing while driving u bad😜🤞. Well after finishing watching the video I think a conodrum..WTW is conflicted keep the seed dispenser as art gallery item or as a tool...I vote over 80% of ur heart wants to do a group of 3 with it...
Some times you come across something that if you do not buy you will regret it and it bothers and haunts you for years to come . You will love and appreciate this gun for your life time and can make it happen buy thinning some of your other guns to off set the cost its a win win. You will not loose sleep on selling the composite stocked standard arms but missing out on a rare beauty can nag at you for quite a while.
If you shoot it you need to get that sticker off the barrel. The glue on the sticker could damage the blueing from the heat from shooting it. Beautiful gun!
Get rid of the sticker too. You folks in the US have a super lubricant i buy when im down in Montana or Dakotas. Break Free on all the steel to preserve and prevent rust and oxidation . I patch it in the bore for winter storage too. That will get the glue residue off clean and sweet
What an incredible score!! That is just such a nice collector’s rifle! There are four hundred million firearms in America and you got one out of 129!! Just fantastic,great job Who Tee!!!
Auction off the guns at Tolivers . Signed , plus bottom of playing card 17hmr signed . Tolliver Anniversary in Aug. And you can tell us about your couch experiences . Glad you dropped the hammer on this one. Enjoy . I'll say a prayer for your back.
Most beautiful Winchester I have eve seen and I had some beauties for a long time. Love the tiger stripes in the wood and the marquis checkering. I am also stunned you were reluctant to get rid of the 338 knowing this Win was waiting for you. Good job!
Beautiful rifle! Im torn, would love to see you shoot it and see how it groups, but it’s a rare gun! What year did they make those? Have you shot that other 264 win mag you picked up the other week?
It needs a high end European quick mount for the classic fixed 6x scope, shoot once for showing the precision, save the target with the rifle, clean it well, get a glass gun case, and write a will on how it should be transferred to when you join him above us all.
What makes that stock so special and beautiful is the way the wood is cut its gotta be a big enough tree to cut the stock from the trunk and root area takes over a hundred years for the tree to reach that size
No, don’t take the sticker off. I’m a 63-year-old man and with a disabled son to care for, I will NEVER be able to afford something like this. When I saw that presentation grade wood, I started drooling right away. You are a blessed man, Adam. Congratulations!!!
Yes Sir, Take the Sticker off. I understand that with it on there, It's "Mint" and those stickers are fine for the Regular M70 (like the 3 I have with the Plastic stock, I pulled those stickers off) But NOT for that Rifle. I have a Weatherby Mark V in 7MM Weatherby Mag. It's from around 1986 and has never (other than the Factory) had a round through it. I did the same thing as you are talking about....After mounting a Leupold Scope on it, I wrapped it in a very soft cloth to protect the Walnut stock, put it inside a padded hardcase, and set it back to be handed down to my Sons as an Heirloom. I also have a Weatherby Mark V Weathermark in 7mm Weatherby. It's Stainless and Plastic so IF I want to shoot 7mm Weatherby Mag, I use it.
That 264 is a lovely rifle... So refreshing to see blued steel and walnut.... old school like me (1942 vintage!)..... Yes, take the sitcker off... That's nice bit of timber in the handle..... I am jealous..... Beeeyoootiful! Please shoot it... it's what it was built for.....🙂
Made to shoot, I bought a super grade maple in 308. Shot a deer with it a couple years ago. I only take it out in good conditions when I hunt out of a blind and it sits in my field rest and use a hard case when it rides in the truck. Not what I use when walking in the woods. Beautiful guns and action smooth like butter, but made to be used. I have a soft spot for Winchester's though and collect them. I shoot 52C and 52D at my 22 shoots. Weaver T36 and Lapua center x lot 28 shoots best for those. Would like to see a video on the 52's if you come by one in the future. Great video, like watching your channel. Keep up the great work!
That is what I was raised on, The Winchester model 70 in 270 Winchester caliber. They were always so beautiful, that it was almost a shame to fire them. But we had to take home meat for the family. Seeing that gave me a sense of Joy once again. As far as taking the sticker off, if you're going to keep it forever, go ahead and take the sticker off, if you have any doubts. Doubts not only don't take the sticker off but don't shoot it! Put one bullet through it and it loses half of its value!
Hey WTW! Congrats on the Winnie! If you dont shoot it, it gives you a reason to pick another winchester up! If you come across a winchester 70 Coyote lite snag it up, youd love it! If youre ever in South Dakota, ive got some rare stuff you can make some vids on!
That rifle is amazing Adam. I am so happy for you. This is a rifle that I have on my mind however I did not know that this rare one existed. I would like a safe full of super grades but the one I would and wanted first is the .264 Magnum. It is a barrel burner but you don't have to shoot a super grade to death :) right? Be well Man and as always the best to you and yours, TW
Beautiful tiger stripe stock! And yes, take the sticker off and save it. To leave it on and shoot it would look tacky! Hoot, just make sure to thoroughly wipe it down every single time after handling it!
I am a "rifleman" . I just love model 70s. That's a very pretty one. You need to hunt with it. I have a lot of firearms, that one makes me a little jealous. Congratulations.
Oh Adam you need to shoot this thing! I have the Cabela's Limited Edition in 270 Win. and I took it hunting this last season! This fine rifle is made to hunt please don't let it gather dust. It is a fine rifle and think of how cool it would be to take big game with it!
You have to find a gloss black scope for that. The last one I got was a new old stock gloss leupold off eBay. I put that on a Weatherby vanguard sporter deluxe, with gloss black tally one piece mounts. Rifles like that just don’t look right with a matte black scope on it. I’ve seen a company on eBay doing gloss black cerakote on scopes too, but I’d want to double check with the manufacturer on any possible warranty issues with the cerakote.
Beautiful rifle. I was gonna say leave the sticker on if it's a collector / safe queen. But then saw remarks about 'leaving a stain' and the fact that you're gonna take it out and get some blood on it, so yeah, pull the sticker and preserve it.
A beautiful rifle! The 264 Winchester magnum came first then the 300 Winchester magnum in Winchesters cartridge development. I would take the sticker off and clean it and wipe it down and place carefully in your safe. Controlled round feed like the original Model 70.
Take off the Sticker. Take it to the range. Take it in the woods. She's meant to sling boolits and catch muleys. Let her live her best life. Any wear she gets will just make her that much more unique.
Of all the calibers that I have had in over 60 years and wanted, the 264 Win Mag is at the very bottom of the list. One thing that I never wanted was a barrel burner.
If you’re going to flip the M70, leave the decal on; however, if you’re going to keep the rifle, take the decal off as it will eventually cause the bluing to become discolored. You’re richer than I am because I don’t have any guns that I can’t shoot. From old Stevens to new Berettas, from a couple of 40X’s to my M70’s in 7x57, I shoot every gun I own. Dude, Please enjoy your rifle; don’t just lock it up for “later!” Remember the old song, Tomorrow Never Comes? You’re only alive today! Shoot, shoot, shoot!
There's valid arguments on both sides of that coin. But the older I get, the more I lean towards your way of thinking. I remember buying nice knives for my dad, first thing he'd do was start sharpening them. I'd say you should have put that up dad, he'd say he wouldn't own a gun or knife he wasn't planning on using, and if it really bothered me I should just bring him sticks and rocks next time lol
If you think that at the most you will only shoot this at the range and put it back in the safe, then keep the sticker on the barrel. I have two current Extreme Weather and featherweight Model 70’s and you won’t be disappointed with this Hooty. Beautiful rifle and thanks for sharing.

I only take it out in good conditions when I hunt out of a blind and it sits in my field rest and use a hard case when it rides in the truck. Not what I use when walking in the woods. Beautiful guns and action smooth like butter, but made to be used. I have a soft spot for Winchester's though and collect them. I shoot 52C and 52D at my 22 shoots. Weaver T36 and Lapua center x lot 28 shoots best for those. Would like to see a video on the 52's if you come by one in the future. Great video, like watching your channel. Keep up the great work!
It’s so beautiful, what a find . Congratulations WTW
That thing has some beautiful wood!
Please take it out to the range mate, please ✌️
That is what I was raised on, The Winchester model 70 in 270 Winchester caliber. They were always so beautiful, that it was almost a shame to fire them. But we had to take home meat for the family. Seeing that gave me a sense of Joy once again.
As far as taking the sticker off, if you're going to keep it forever, go ahead and take the sticker off, if you have any doubts. Doubts not only don't take the sticker off but don't shoot it! Put one bullet through it and it loses half of its value!
Hey WTW! Congrats on the Winnie! If you dont shoot it, it gives you a reason to pick another winchester up! If you come across a winchester 70 Coyote lite snag it up, youd love it! If youre ever in South Dakota, ive got some rare stuff you can make some vids on!
That rifle is amazing Adam. I am so happy for you. This is a rifle that I have on my mind however I did not know that this rare one existed. I would like a safe full of super grades but the one I would and wanted first is the .264 Magnum. It is a barrel burner but you don't have to shoot a super grade to death :) right? Be well Man and as always the best to you and yours, TW
Very nice rifle, well done!!👍🏼😊
I really miss the days when they made rifles with fancy walnut stocks and highly polished bluing. Thanks for showing us this one
Beautiful tiger stripe stock! And yes, take the sticker off and save it. To leave it on and shoot it would look tacky!
Hoot, just make sure to thoroughly wipe it down every single time after handling it!
That’s a awesome bing bang it looks like a keeper enjoy your channel and have learned a lot from you keep up the good work
Appreciate you watching
That is a beautiful rifle
I am a "rifleman" . I just love model 70s. That's a very pretty one. You need to hunt with it. I have a lot of firearms, that one makes me a little jealous. Congratulations.
I didn't know any company was making rifles that beautiful now!
I haven’t seen all of your boolot slingers , but That one is Truly Beautiful !
I don’t care for the caliber, but That rifle !!!!!❤
That piece of wood is NICE! Got me drooling over here
Oh Adam you need to shoot this thing! I have the Cabela's Limited Edition in 270 Win. and I took it hunting this last season! This fine rifle is made to hunt please don't let it gather dust. It is a fine rifle and think of how cool it would be to take big game with it!
You have to find a gloss black scope for that. The last one I got was a new old stock gloss leupold off eBay. I put that on a Weatherby vanguard sporter deluxe, with gloss black tally one piece mounts. Rifles like that just don’t look right with a matte black scope on it. I’ve seen a company on eBay doing gloss black cerakote on scopes too, but I’d want to double check with the manufacturer on any possible warranty issues with the cerakote.
That is abeauty and i. Would cherish it for every big game hunt
WTW, that is a Stunning rifle. Keep it, do not shoot. It is Sweet
Beautiful rifle. I was gonna say leave the sticker on if it's a collector / safe queen. But then saw remarks about 'leaving a stain' and the fact that you're gonna take it out and get some blood on it, so yeah, pull the sticker and preserve it.
Rifle perfection. Awesome catch
That’s awesome man!! Congrats!! Love model 70!!! You have to shoot it !!
A beautiful rifle! The 264 Winchester magnum came first then the 300 Winchester magnum in Winchesters cartridge development. I would take the sticker off and clean it and wipe it down and place carefully in your safe. Controlled round feed like the original Model 70.
Good onya Adam that is one beautiful bing bang, congrats mate, I’m jealous has hell 😂😂cheers Yogi ✌️
That is a beautiful rifle!
Leave the sticker. Take care of that rifle. That’s a mean meat slayin machine bro. Gorgeous
Take off the Sticker. Take it to the range. Take it in the woods. She's meant to sling boolits and catch muleys. Let her live her best life. Any wear she gets will just make her that much more unique.
THAT, is the nicest rifle I have seen on your site.
Of all the calibers that I have had in over 60 years and wanted, the 264 Win Mag is at the very bottom of the list. One thing that I never wanted was a barrel burner.
The model 70 ( IMO) is THE most beautiful & quality factory bolt ever made . A Ruger No 1 is a damn close 2nd.
If you’re going to flip the M70, leave the decal on; however, if you’re going to keep the rifle, take the decal off as it will eventually cause the bluing to become discolored.
You’re richer than I am because I don’t have any guns that I can’t shoot. From old Stevens to new Berettas, from a couple of 40X’s to my M70’s in 7x57, I shoot every gun I own.
Dude, Please enjoy your rifle; don’t just lock it up for “later!”
Remember the old song, Tomorrow Never Comes?
You’re only alive today!
Shoot, shoot, shoot!
There's valid arguments on both sides of that coin. But the older I get, the more I lean towards your way of thinking. I remember buying nice knives for my dad, first thing he'd do was start sharpening them. I'd say you should have put that up dad, he'd say he wouldn't own a gun or knife he wasn't planning on using, and if it really bothered me I should just bring him sticks and rocks next time lol

If you think that at the most you will only shoot this at the range and put it back in the safe, then keep the sticker on the barrel. I have two current Extreme Weather and featherweight Model 70’s and you won’t be disappointed with this Hooty. Beautiful rifle and thanks for sharing.
