*SOLD* 1965 Winchester 70 Standard .30-06 Blue 22" *OUTSTANDING BOLT-ACTION RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Winchester Model 54, produced from 1925 until 1937, holds a significant place in the history of bolt-action sporting rifles as Winchester's first successful entry into the category. A sporterized version of the Mauser design, the Model 54 was an important step forward but lacked some of the refinements that many bolt-action hunters were seeking. When the Winchester Model 70 debuted in 1937, it set a new standard, offering a more robust action, better checkering, improved safety features, and a significantly enhanced trigger mechanism. The Model 70's design quickly made it the most widely recognized bolt-action rifle in the world, earning the nickname "The Rifleman's Rifle" due to its unparalleled reliability and performance in the field.
