I have hunted with quite a few guys over the years that used Winchester Model 670's. Most were in .30-06, and the were sure shooters. In fact I have a couple buddies that bought 670's new in the 70's that are still shooting them to this day.

In a little home town gunshop this fall I saw a Rifle in the used rack and thought that it looked familiar. I picked it up and low and behold it was a blonde stocked Winchester Model 670 in .30-06. It looked almost like NEW if you can believe that. The price tag said $275.00. I told the gunshop owner that that was about twice what those rifles sold for new and he said YEP that was about right.
