Yes, Wal Mart does sell Win Model 70s in 7mm Rem Mag and there are still plenty floating around out there. The question is whether you got a good deal or not.

less than $400 including a simmons scope which i replaced.i had some old 870 powder and handrolled some rounds to break in the barrel.very accurate.i think all who want a model 70 pick one up while you still can;im glad i did.

That's a normal price for a regular M70. I personally would prefer a Rem 700 over the Win M70 without the claw extractor.

If you did get the classic model with claw extractor, then you sure did score!
