    I hope someone, somewhere - will have the zeros in his account to buy them and shoot the tar out of them.

    It's kind of a rip if you have to put it on your credit card and loose the cash discount.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    It brings new meaning to "pre-64"...……

    I could buy 4375 Howas for that. One of them is bound to be a shooter.

    Aw come on Lloyd that's only 175 bucks we don't want to insult the guy. I'll bid $900 on the pair. Heck I'll even throw in a well used pre 64 Ford pickup.

    Dirty sucker won't even let you place a bid. I was going to $1.15M but I guess he's holding out

    truthfully 900 a piece would be a fair offer. I just never saw the hoopla around the pre 64 70s. To me there kind of blocky and homely like the first gen ruger 77s but even worse. Want a nice 70 take that 900 bucks and buy yourself a brand new featherweight. Fit and finish put the old guns to shame and they shoot better to boot.

    Quite impressed with one guy owning both SN#1 and #2 from 1936 and in that original shape.

    They probably should go to Cody!

    There's some "As Seen On TV" infomercial potential here:

    "Buy the Number 1 Winchester Model 70 for only one and three-quarters million dollars, and we'll throw in the Number 2 Model 70 for FREE! (Just pay separate shipping charges)"

    The Cody Museum really is the place for those. What they're worth is kind of ephemeral. . . Yes, they're the product of a very special era, when American industry had grown up, but a lot of America was still wild, and yes, they're the lowest-numbered versions of what is arguably the best mass-produced deer rifle ever made. . .but they're still mass-produced deer rifles, that we're owned by or used on Presidents, industrialists, or movie stars - they went out with Bubba and hunted deer.

    OTOH, mass produced deer rifles ain't what they used to be. I just helped clean up and restock a Remington Hepburn single shot from the 1880's (BEAUTIFUL gun), and at several spots along the way, I wanted to take pictures and send them to Remington with a letter asking "What the hell happened to you guys anyway?" The prime source for classic blued American Steel these days is Italy, and they aren't making the bolt guns, so I can sorta see how some rich rabbit might get misty-eyed for a rare sampling of the real stuff.
