Nice. I was excited about this auction coming up but they canceled it again. Damn people trying to scam the whole club just for some ammo, powder and shot.
True. I live in Nor Cal which is becoming a desert so I’m good. But I think it would do ok in the elements as long as it got dried out daily. It has thick polyurethane and I keep it rubbed down with so much Ballistol inside and out that unless it got submerged in salt water it probably wouldn’t rust.
Thank you. I do love it. I was on the fence about getting the maple. I’ve always loved walnut in fact I grew up in a walnut orchard. But in spring 2021 there were no .270 Super Grades available anywhere and deer season was fast approaching. Then the first Super Grades that Winchester started producing after this shortage were the 2021 Shot Show specials which is what mine is. I jumped on the first .270 Super Grade I could find. And let me tell you I’m not disappointed. I love it. And the scope too.
@@fungdart No doubt… just terrific Acquired my 3 in last 2 years….. have Maple 264 Win Mag, French Walnut 6.5 PRC and 243 French. The 243 French is really blonde, the 6.5 very dark. Nice differentiation
@@shannonbutler6402 .243 is all my Dad and little brother have ever hunted with. In fact almost all of my buddies I hunt with here in California only use .243 win. I’m the oddball for using .270 and one other buddy uses an .30-06 Blacktail are small here. A 120lb buck is considered large so .243 gets the job done. I like the .270 because I can reach out much further. This is only my 2nd scoped hunting rifle I’ve had in my life. Both .270 win since I was 16 years old. With a 19 year break from hunting in there. I went from 2002 to 2021 without ever going hunting. My little brother passed in 2019 and I started hunting again with the same guys I hunted with as a teenager. We all agreed to start hunting again together in my little brother’s memory. It’s wonderful to hunt again. Don’t know why I ever stopped. I guess life got in the way.
Beautiful rifle. I wonder if Leupold doesn’t offer a gloss finish anymore partly because of the prevalence of matte finishes and also because for a military application gloss is counterproductive. They would want a matte finish that doesn’t shine.
One gorgeous rifle there bud! I have 2 model 70s One is a pre 64 in 270 anda post in 300 win mag! Neither look like yours though! Lol. I'd be scared to take yours out of the safe! Lol. A bud of mine polished his matte Leupold. Turned out nice
I have an old model 70 win. 270,with the boss,, With special,walnut. But I like that looks almost identical to mine except. Maple. Stock. I love mine never will. Get rid of it. I got a 200 yard shot group with inch a quarter pattern. ,some times less.
Nice. I almost bought an x-bolt. I had it narrowed down to 2 rifles. The x-bolt or my maple super grade. I ended up going with the super grade. A lot more expensive choice but I love the super grade in maple.
Wonderful rifle. I love it’s glossy finish. My super grade came in a matte finish, but I have to admit, glossy looks fancier. How was the hunt with such beautiful rifle?
Been on 6 day hunts so far. Missed one buck at close range. The problem me and everyone else in California is having is you can’t get a good group with this lead free ammo. It’s all over the place. I can get a 3/4” group with regular ammo but this lead free is all over the target.
Thanks. I can’t seem to find the all-copper cartridges here in Ontario, Canada. Got some for my 30-30, but can’t find 30-06. But, judging by your feedback I’m not missing much (pardon the pun). Cheers!
@@romansivers I’m tempted to just hunt with regular ammo next year. But it’s a big fine if I get caught. This lead ammonia ban is ridiculous if you ask me. But that’s California. The place where democracy is an illusion.
@@rg58 We take care of my wife’s grandmother who is 90. But after she’s gone we’re going to travel the country in our RV and pick a state we like the best and move to it. And it’s going to be as far opposite as you can get from California.
That’s crazy. I’m trying to quit smoking right now. My doctor just gave me Chantix. Haven’t tried it yet. Been smoking most of 30 years. I want to quit and save the money for a Colt SAA .45 7-1/2” barrel.
Yep. I hate California now. I been here my whole life. It wasn’t like this 25 years ago. But it keeps getting worse and worse. But it wasn’t Schwarzenegger . It was first Jerry Brown and now Gavin Newsom that have gone nuts with the leftist extremism. And environmental regulations. I’m for protecting the environment just as much as the next guy but this is ridiculous. We are hopefully moving in the next 5 years. Have to clean up our property before we can sell it. Family has been here 50 years. Maybe going to Georgia or Tennessee.
@@fungdart I thought it was when Schwarzenegger was in that they passed the lead bullet ban over what they were saying that the birds was eating the lead and dying but the politicians there have got worse and worse
@@scottscheuerman6170 I think that’s who came up with the idea but it was blocked in court. And then it was our current governor Newsom that revived it and got it pushed through it finally took affect last year. I think it was Arnold that got it started now that I think about it I should just google it. The gun laws we are dealing with now that Newsom is in there are absolutely insane. Drives me crazy.
I wouldn’t mind the lead free ammo if it was accurate. But you can’t get a good group with it. I can with regular ammo. Maybe I’ll make a video at the range showing the difference.
@@fungdart the lead free bullet have to be really long to get any weight to them and that causes problems the lighter copper bullet may shoot better if you hand-load you might be able to adjust your seating depth and with different powders and charges might be able to find a load that accurate but it’s much harder than standard bullets that’s for sure

Be prepared to bid at least probably $650 if you really want that one. I paid $500 but mine was opened but never mounted.
Yes the Browning blonde is a beautiful one. I consider it and the regular X-Bolt Medallion. But then I started doing my research and learned how much better the Model 70 is built. How much better the lugs and bedding are. And the stronger receiver on the 70. But what put the nail in the coffin and made me decide on the Model 70 was simply the 24” barrel. Much better ballistics with the 24”. And the X-Bolt only comes in 22” in 270 win. I have no doubt the Browning is a good rifle. But the Model 70 is way better. That’s why I went with it.
@@fungdart Good info my xbolt has the 26” I have the 300 win mag and love the trigger but your 70 is awesome I could look at all day every day congrats 👍🔥🦅
That is an incredibly beautiful rifle. I just bought a Browning X-Bolt Medallion maple in the same caliber. The cheaper cost is why I went the Browning. Good luck with yours!
These are the Winchester 63200 one piece integrated scope mounts in gloss. Intermediate/medium height. They are made by Talley but I didn’t know that till I open the package. The packaging said Winchester. Strangely enough if you want glass you have to get the Winchester labeled ones. They’re made specifically for Winchester by Talley. If you buy them from Talley you can only get matte. They were about $45 I believe.
@@fungdart Excellent! Thank you for the reply. Would the low rings work as well? I'm putting the exact same scope on the exact same rifle and typically like a lower profile.
@@RMC2021 I think they would fit. It would be close. You can see the clearance on mine is pretty good and mine are medium. Worst case you might have to move the scope forward a little bit. To make room for the bell. But I doubt you would have to do that. But that scope has tons of eye relief. I think low riders would fit fine. I just looked on Talley‘s website they give the height measurements for all the different sizes. It’s only .1 inches lower from the medium to the low. But if you want gloss you got to get the Winchester ones I think I got mine at Midway.
It’s Ukiah Rifle and Pistol Club. AKA Ukiah Gun Club in Ukiah, CA. 2 hours north of San Francisco straight up Hwy 101. It’s a private club. You have to be a member. Or a guest of a member.
They actually have four ranges at the gun club. They have two trap ranges. The main rifle range which is in itself two different ranges. A pistol range which they call Helldorado. And another small rifle range in the back that’s mostly used by law-enforcement. But anybody can use it. The place been open since just after the end of World War II.
@@HEYBERT1984 Accurate as I can be. I can get silver dollar 3 shot groups at 100 yards. But it’s limited to my not very good skills. I have shaky hands. So it’s as good as it’s gonna get with me pulling the trigger. Unless I find a gun vise bench rest set up but I don’t have one of those.
I got one of those for a gift twenty years ago, I’ve never been able to bring myself to shoot it. I love it but it’s the most useless thing in the safe.
Yes. I love it. But at the same time I have only owned 3 scoped rifles in my life. So I am no expert. It’s a Leupold. Which is about all I need to know regarding its quality. I have been watching the eBay auction. I’m shocked that it has gotten this high. The basic Leupold platform for this scope is a VX-2. That’s what I read. And it has the 24k logo and it’s high gloss. But damn its at $740. I have seen on average one a month but you have to wait two or three months till you see one that is new. This is only the 2nd unopened one I’ve seen since June. And I think the first one went for $650. But to me it is the ideal scope. It’s the ultimate classic scope for my maple Model 70. And it’s the most beautiful scope I have ever seen. But at this price I would probably wait till the next one comes along. You can set up eBay to search for you. Which is what I did. It’s searches automatically ever 24 hrs. And sends me a notification when a new one is listed. That’s how I knew about this one. You just got to decide how much you want it. But I really doubt anybody would ever be disappointed with this scope. Sorry so long.
Search Leupold Century Limited Edition there is another used one that is listed in the last 24 hrs. It’s at $225 but it’s used and no box or gift tin or knife and medallion. But it’s the same scope if that is all you want.
@@fungdart I’ve been watching for a while now for a scope for my 243 super grade, and your video turned me on to this particular scope. I agree the price for the new one is out of hand. I’m assuming the used one will too. It’s actually the same seller! Very clever of them! The used comes with rings, but it looks like it would need a different scope mount than you used. I’m still learning all of this stuff. What cleaning stuff do you recommend?
Not sure what you mean by lap. They didn’t use Locktite. The gun dealer that I had it delivered to bore-sighted the scope. No Locktite. I still haven’t finished dialing it in. I got it good enough for deer season and haven’t shot it since late October. Those are Weaver scope rings on that used one on eBay. I need to sight mine in better. I know it will shoot way better groups. But this all copper ammo we are forced to use in California if real finicky. It takes time to get it perfect. I’m trying to find Barnes TTSX but can’t find any locally. Because now in California we can’t buy ammo online. We are forced to go through a gun dealer to buy ammo now. I hate living in California. Can’t wait to move.
@@fungdart Wow, a dealer for ammo! Crazy. When they lap they use a compound to wear the inside of the scope rings with a special tool. Im not sure this step is necessary with the style rings and integrates mount you are using. I could be wrong though.
My first scoped hunting rifle was a Ruger M77 .270. Got it when I was 14 and sold it when I was down and out and needed money about 20 years ago. Regretted it ever since. I loved that rifle. Yep this one wasn’t cheap. But I wanted a fancy one that would become a family heirloom hopefully.
Sorry. Not for sale. This is intended to be the last hunting rifle I ever buy. Something that will be passed down to my son. That’s why I dropped $2100 plus tax and fees on a rifle and scope. To get a wall hanger. Something that will be a family heirloom.
@@fungdart I did some looking and all they got it in is 6.5 and I don’t want that so imma just wait to see if one pop up in 270 again if you see one anywhere can you let me know please and thank you
The base Leupold platform for this scope is either a VX-1 or VX-2 depending on what you read. Not sure because I never called Leupold to ask. But to me it doesn’t matter. It’s a Leupold. All that I cared about is that it was a high gloss scope to match my rifle. Plus I love the Long Range duplex reticle crosshairs. I have it zeroed for 200 yards and with my .270 win I can supposedly get out to 500 yards reliably. But I haven’t tried it past 200 yet. Honestly I haven’t shot it since last deer season here in CA but that’s because I’m not happy with this Nosler lead free expansion tip ammo and haven’t been able to locate any TTSX locally since I have to pass a background check to buy ammo in CA and no online sellers will even sell to CA because it’s not worth the trouble. One of these days I will be able to afford to take it out and find out what it really can do. But I’m still poor after buying this rifle and scope. Lol
I found after allot of frustration with rifles going hair brain unpredictable accuracy it was the 2-piece scope mount bases causing the problems. The 3 rifles giving me problems had the bases changed to 1-piece picatinny rail scope ring bases then it solves all the problems with shots flying all over the targets. If you also have this problem, go to the 1-piece picatinny rail system. When Winchester was producing these rifles, I really liked handling one to look how beautiful they looked. I am thinking of Boyde's stocks doing me a 50% maple stock for my Weatherby V 5 and have the deer scaled pattern checkering done on the Parrie hunter model stock and because I am a smaller man, I like the 13 1/2 pull butt stock. I just had a Boyde's stock done for my 300 WBY mag in a custom Mauser 98 using the Parrie hunter stock and the deer scaled checkering with the Orange + gray laminated wood and it is so cool looking.
I’m real careful with it. Deer season just opened last Saturday here and this is the 3rd season I’ve used it. So far no major scratches. But I know that day will come.
Maple is an incredibly strong wood, more so than walnut. You would have to try and deliberately scratch it in order to do so. Under normal hunting environments you should be ok, so long the rifle is not being dragged around.

Beautiful!! When I lived in Alaska for 37 years I wouldn't take something like that out into the elements. It was stainless/synthetic all the way...
True. I live in Nor Cal which is becoming a desert so I’m good. But I think it would do ok in the elements as long as it got dried out daily. It has thick polyurethane and I keep it rubbed down with so much Ballistol inside and out that unless it got submerged in salt water it probably wouldn’t rust.

And I think the first one went for $650. But to me it is the ideal scope. It’s the ultimate classic scope for my maple Model 70. And it’s the most beautiful scope I have ever seen. But at this price I would probably wait till the next one comes along. You can set up eBay to search for you. Which is what I did. It’s searches automatically ever 24 hrs. And sends me a notification when a new one is listed. That’s how I knew about this one. You just got to decide how much you want it. But I really doubt anybody would ever be disappointed with this scope. Sorry so long.
Search Leupold Century Limited Edition there is another used one that is listed in the last 24 hrs. It’s at $225 but it’s used and no box or gift tin or knife and medallion. But it’s the same scope if that is all you want.
That new one has the same scope covers I just got for my scope. Those are $100 right there so that’s a pretty good set up.
Regarding the scope covers I mean the newly listed used one on eBay. Not the one that’s new in the box.
@@fungdart I’ve been watching for a while now for a scope for my 243 super grade, and your video turned me on to this particular scope. I agree the price for the new one is out of hand. I’m assuming the used one will too. It’s actually the same seller! Very clever of them! The used comes with rings, but it looks like it would need a different scope mount than you used. I’m still learning all of this stuff. What cleaning stuff do you recommend?
Did you lap the scope rings when you installed or use locktite on the bolts?
Not sure what you mean by lap. They didn’t use Locktite. The gun dealer that I had it delivered to bore-sighted the scope. No Locktite. I still haven’t finished dialing it in. I got it good enough for deer season and haven’t shot it since late October. Those are Weaver scope rings on that used one on eBay. I need to sight mine in better. I know it will shoot way better groups. But this all copper ammo we are forced to use in California if real finicky. It takes time to get it perfect. I’m trying to find Barnes TTSX but can’t find any locally. Because now in California we can’t buy ammo online. We are forced to go through a gun dealer to buy ammo now. I hate living in California. Can’t wait to move.
@@fungdart Wow, a dealer for ammo! Crazy. When they lap they use a compound to wear the inside of the scope rings with a special tool. Im not sure this step is necessary with the style rings and integrates mount you are using. I could be wrong though.
@@fungdart Too see lapping done, Check out the video “How to properly mount a scope presented by Larry Potterfield” Its a midwayusa video on youtube.
@@anonymous_friend I’ll check it out. Never heard of lapping before. It’s new to me.
@@anonymous_friend this is the case I keep my Model 70 in.

Fine rifle, but way out of this Wyoming boy’s price range. I’ll make do with my Ruger MkII .270.
My first scoped hunting rifle was a Ruger M77 .270. Got it when I was 14 and sold it when I was down and out and needed money about 20 years ago. Regretted it ever since. I loved that rifle. Yep this one wasn’t cheap. But I wanted a fancy one that would become a family heirloom hopefully.
What do. Want for it
Sorry. Not for sale. This is intended to be the last hunting rifle I ever buy. Something that will be passed down to my son. That’s why I dropped $2100 plus tax and fees on a rifle and scope. To get a wall hanger. Something that will be a family heirloom.
They can go on about their over priced Remington 700 clones, nothing matches a model 70 Winchester for beauty and function
I want this rifle so bad where can I find one 😭😭
I got it on Gunbroker. They aren’t cheap.
@@fungdart man for that thing I’ll pay the price like 1500 right?
@@jaylinholmes3453 I paid $1600 for the rifle and $500 for the scope. Plus tax and shipping. Altogether it was around $2400 after buying scope covers.
@@fungdart I did some looking and all they got it in is 6.5 and I don’t want that so imma just wait to see if one pop up in 270 again if you see one anywhere can you let me know please and thank you
@@jaylinholmes3453 on will show up. Just keep checking Gunbroker. I’ll keep an eye out too. There were several over the summer when I bought mine.
its super sexy
How do you like the scope?
I love it.
The base Leupold platform for this scope is either a VX-1 or VX-2 depending on what you read. Not sure because I never called Leupold to ask. But to me it doesn’t matter. It’s a Leupold. All that I cared about is that it was a high gloss scope to match my rifle. Plus I love the Long Range duplex reticle crosshairs. I have it zeroed for 200 yards and with my .270 win I can supposedly get out to 500 yards reliably. But I haven’t tried it past 200 yet. Honestly I haven’t shot it since last deer season here in CA but that’s because I’m not happy with this Nosler lead free expansion tip ammo and haven’t been able to locate any TTSX locally since I have to pass a background check to buy ammo in CA and no online sellers will even sell to CA because it’s not worth the trouble. One of these days I will be able to afford to take it out and find out what it really can do. But I’m still poor after buying this rifle and scope. Lol
What gun range is that
I found after allot of frustration with rifles going hair brain unpredictable accuracy it was the 2-piece scope mount bases causing the problems.
The 3 rifles giving me problems had the bases changed to 1-piece picatinny rail scope ring bases then it solves all the problems with shots flying all over the targets.
If you also have this problem, go to the 1-piece picatinny rail system.
When Winchester was producing these rifles, I really liked handling one to look how beautiful they looked.
I am thinking of Boyde's stocks doing me a 50% maple stock for my Weatherby V 5 and have the deer scaled pattern checkering done on the Parrie hunter model stock and because I am a smaller man, I like the 13 1/2 pull butt stock.
I just had a Boyde's stock done for my 300 WBY mag in a custom Mauser 98 using the Parrie hunter stock and the deer scaled checkering with the Orange + gray laminated wood and it is so cool looking.
I would be afraid that it gets scratched if I take it into the woods.
I’m real careful with it. Deer season just opened last Saturday here and this is the 3rd season I’ve used it. So far no major scratches. But I know that day will come.
Maple is an incredibly strong wood, more so than walnut. You would have to try and deliberately scratch it in order to do so. Under normal hunting environments you should be ok, so long the rifle is not being dragged around.
Why its a rifle, its meant to be scratched.
Nvm I see Ukiah
