Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 70 Super Grade represents the modern continuation of one of the most respected bolt action sporting rifle lineages in American firearms history. Long known as “The Rifleman’s Rifle,” the Model 70 earned its reputation through controlled round feed reliability, strong lockup, and refined handling characteristics. The Super Grade configuration elevates the platform with premium walnut, classic stock architecture, and enhanced fit and finish, preserving the traditional Winchester aesthetic while benefiting from contemporary manufacturing standards.
Chambered in .264 Winchester Magnum, this rifle reflects one of Winchester’s most ambitious high velocity cartridge developments of the twentieth century. Introduced in the late 1950s, the .264 Win Mag was designed to deliver flat trajectory, high velocity, and excellent long range performance, particularly when paired with long barrels. The 26 inch barrel on this Super Grade allows the cartridge to reach its full ballistic potential, making it well suited for open country hunting and extended range applications. The absence of iron sights and the inclusion of Leupold rings and bases underscore its intended use as a scoped, precision-oriented sporting rifle.
This example retains approximately 99 percent of its original blued finish, with deep, even coloration throughout and vivid bolt jeweling intact. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and no erosion present, rating 10 out of 10 in this writer’s opinion. The walnut stock shows virtually no wear, with crisp checkering, attractive grain, and a tight fit to the barreled action, presenting in Excellent condition. Markings remain clear and legible, screw heads are sharp, and the action functions correctly with a smooth safety. Overall, this rifle presents as a near-new example of a Super Grade Model 70 chambered in one of Winchester’s most iconic high velocity magnum cartridges.
