Produced during a transitional yet highly regarded era of Model 70 manufacturing (1964–2006), this rifle embodies the blend of modern production efficiency with the refined styling and durable materials that Winchester enthusiasts have come to expect. While post-1964 changes initially caused concern among collectors due to the shift from controlled-round feed to push-feed design, later improvements restored much of the pre-’64 legacy, especially in the Super Grade line. This rifle’s .243 Winchester chambering is known for its flat trajectory, mild recoil, and excellent accuracy, making it an ideal choice for varmint hunting, predator control, and even light deer hunting. In excellent condition with strong mechanics and a clean bore, this Model 70 Super Grade is both a functional field rifle and a collector-worthy piece of American firearms history—representing the enduring legacy of what is often called "The Rifleman’s Rifle."
