Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Known affectionately across the shooting world as "The Rifleman's Rifle," the Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 stands undisputed as one of the most celebrated bolt-action sporting firearms ever created. Manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut before Winchester altered production methods in 1964, Pre-64 Model 70s are universally acclaimed for their hand-fitted craftsmanship, forged receiver actions, and ultra-reliable Mauser-style controlled-round feed claw extractors. Bearing serial number 138949, this desirable early postwar specimen was produced in 1950 during what many collectors consider Winchester's prime golden era of fit and finish. Chambered in the quintessential .30-06 Springfield (bearing the period-correct factory barrel stamping .30 GOV'T '06), this Standard Grade Model 70 features a 24-inch Winchester Proof Steel barrel, crisp hand checkering on its walnut stock, sling swivels, and its original checkered steel buttplate. This fine example remains in unmounted configuration, retaining its factory hooded front sight and dovetailed rear elevator sight with factory fill screws in place along the receiver bridge. High-grade, original Pre-64 Model 70s in flagship calibers like .30-06 remain among the most liquid and highly prized investment firearms on the secondary market today. Don't miss this opportunity to add a legendary piece of American firearms history to your collection!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
