I have a chance to add another Mod 70 to the safe and need input on it. I have a Mod 70 Classic Spoter already. The one I am looking at is nothing like it. The "new one" has a factory syn stock with no floorplate. It is a .270. The bolt is not like the Classic that I own. The 'new' one has no claw type extractor like my 30.06 has. the serial number starts with a G and is G23070XX. What is this Model 70?

Thanks
Jeff

sounds like a push feed Model 70 shadow. Walmart has them for around 350 new.

I am giving 200.00 for this one from an individual. looks NEW. I am going to call Win and see how old it is!

I agree with PA-Joe, its the pushfeed Shadow. Probably a couple of years old or more if it does not have the insets in the pistol grip or forearm. I think I first saw them like that last year. Buy it! The action alone is worth well over $200. I grabbed one recently on a Wallyworld clearance, with a cheap 3x9 scope mounted on it for $300. I really bought it for the action, even though I'm a dyed in the wool "claw" man when it comes to hunting guns. I can part out the rest, and rebarrel to something more interesting than the .300 Win mag it is chambered to.
