Dad gave me a Win 670 for Christmas ‘75 in 243 Win.

It grouped quite decently with the Hornady 75 gr HP (flat base). I wish I had kept it but I had a hankering for a Ruger 77V in 243. I sold the Win 670 for its new price $130 and bought the Ruger for $200. The Ruger is (I still have it) a Liberty model and it shoots lights out.

If I had kept the Winchester it would have been a quintessential tractor and truck rifle ..... shoulda, coulda kept it!

The trigger on a 670 should be quite tunable.

Enjoy!

The trigger most definitely needs some attention. It breaks around 4.5 pounds. I also plan to give it a bedding job ASAP.

You mentioned you were not a Winchester fan. I believe the 670 used Mod 70 triggers which are simple to adjust:

I see Rifle Basix sells an after market trigger with sear adjustment. I have one of theirs I installed (it was a breeze to do) on a Marlin 22WMR with the adjustable sear and it absolutely made that rifle.

If this rifle was mine, I would try adjusting the stock trigger. If it suited me for the role I chose for it leave it at that but if not then I would change it out to a Rifle Basix.

My gunsmith buddy says he can fix my trigger, I just need to get it over to him. It doesn't need to be super light even though I like light triggers in my rifles.

HM, not so much I'm not a Winchester guy, I just never have had many. I had a 300 WSM that shot lights out but brutalized you in the process. Then a Model 70 in 7x57 that was pretty to look at but it stopped there.

I had a 670 that was my dad's in 243.


I worked it over and is one of my favorites now.

Nice looking rifle Smokin Barrel. I assume that's a different barrel. It looks a little thicker. Is it still 243?

Yeah, it's still a 243. Just sporting a Bartlein barrel in Rem Varmint contour.

Mine came in a B&C thumbhole stock that I really like. I haven't got to shoot it much as of yet but although not a "Tack Driver", its shoots good enough to hunt with. I got in it so cheap that I'm considering a rebarrel and a trigger. Rifle Basix offers a trigger for $99 that goes down to 12 ounces. Not sure about a barrel or caliber as of yet. I got the Tikka shooting really good so thinking of something else. On a flip side, I have more rifles than I shoot now. Do I really need another? Need? Want? LOL, what's need got to do with it??

Made a decision this morning and decided to sell the 670 at a gun show today. Actually made a couple of bucks off it. I decided to keep the Tikka, as it does shoot really good, and save the money I would have spent on the Winchester. I really didn't need another 6mm right now or another project gun.
