Our Assessment: 
The Winchester Model 70 is an iconic American sporting rifle that has been a staple of hunters for more than 80 years; reliable, robust, and accurate, it is one of the benchmarks by which all bolt action rifles are measured. It has more than earned its nickname of “The Riflemans Rifle“, a true icon. This is a vintage pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield that was made in 1958. It is a Standard Rifle configuration with a monte-carlo stock. 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. Not only can it take just about any game in the U.S., it can also be found just about anywhere in the U.S. The rifle is in Fine Plus condition and has been customized with deep relief scroll engraving on the metal and wood. The bottom metal has scroll engraving and a game scene of a bear. The bore has a few defects but is certainly still a shooter. This is a classic hunting rifle in a classic caliber, a match made in heaven. With a nice scope installed, this rifle could be back out in the field dropping bucks for another lifetime. Please see our photos and good luck!

Some are hot, some are not, but thankfully most can be shot!
