In my search for a new stock I found a really nice website that has a Winchester 1966 Sporting Arms and Ammunition 100th Anniversary Edition Catalog. Thought I would share the link. Also bought some...

What are the differences in the Post 64 stock you showed me on eBAY and the stock they say are Safari stocks. Like this one on gunbroker. Looks like a nice project stock.
...

The caliber is stamped inline with the witness marks. Was this normal. Seems odd since the cal. Is stamped on the side along with the model. Perhaps it’s a manufacturing stamp to identify the caliber...

It says "Model --- 70 243 WIN ---" here is a picture

I also noticed that on the bottom of the barrel near the witness mark it's stamped 243 as well

Thank you for the help..

Wow, you just saved me a bunch of money, I had no clue on that one. I haven't seen that information on any of the stock sites. I looked at the action and don't see a magazine block. The measurements...

I did find a stamping in the stock

Hi Bob that was a great website thank you! I just pulled the rifle out of the safe. From the bolt face to the muzzle the barrel is 24" I pulled the action out of the stock and there are no other...

Not a .308 Win its a .243 Win and its a factory barrel. From what I can tell the only thing done to this rifles is a modified target stock and aftermarket rings and mounts were put on her. Looks like...

I'm looking at scopes for it, The rings are 1" and most of my scopes are 30mm. I think these are Leupold rings so if I don't get her as scope i'll grab some 30mm Leupold DD's for it. Thanks again.

Bob, Thanks I didn't even think about measuring the barrel. I'll do it when I get home today. My mind thinks its longer than 24" though.
