Was the 1949 Win M70 300 HH stamped 300 Magnum?

Answer 1

The 300 Winchester Magnum was not introduced until 1963. So yes most likely it is the H&H. I would do a chamber cast to make sure though. Both the .300 Win Magnum and the .300 H&H Magnum were standard calibers for the Model 70 in that era, with the .300 Win Magnum the more rare of the two. If your rifle is only stamped ".300 Magnum" it is more likely the .300 Win Magnum. You will want to have the chamber cast and the caliber verified before attempting to fire the rifle. I am lucky enough to own a pre 64 model 70 win,in the 300h&h.It is stamped 300 H&h Maginum.If your gun is stamped 300 Magnum , it is probally a 300 win mag.

Answer 2

I HAVE A 1937 MODEL 70 STAMPED 300 MAGNUM AND THE CHAMBER IS 300 H & H.
