Type of Finish: Blue
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore but there is a little stubborn fouling, mostly at the muzzle-end. In this writer’s opinion, this bore rates 9 out of 10.
Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 95% of its metal finish. The finish is thining at most edges. The barrel has a few minor nicks and small scratches. The action shows operational wear and there is handling wear on the bolt knob. There are a few other scattered minor marks. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in Very Good-Fine condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. There is a safety mounted on the bolt sleeve. Pushed forwards, the safety is OFF. If pulled back all the way, it locks both the bolt and the trigger. If pulled back half-way, it blocks only the trigger. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.
Our Assessment: This is a vintage pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield and made in 1954. It is a Standard Rifle configuration with a monte-carlo stock. The rifle shows honest wear consistent with responsible use in the field. The .30-06 Springfield cartridge is a classic American round which is suitable for just about any game in North America and has a wild variety of loadings available. The rifle is in Very Good-Fine condition with about 95% of its finish remaining, a mostly bright bore with sharp rifling, and strong mechanics.
