*SOLD* Winchester Model 70 Heavy Varmint .308 26" Parkerized *SERIOUS ACCURACY*

Over its production run, three design changes were made to the design and construction of the Model 70. The first change came in 1964 after John Olin's resignation from The Olin Corporation which owned Winchester at the time; this change is regarded as the most major of all three of the changes. The change was enacted by the new owners of The Olin Corporation and involved production methods of the weapon; this included a new receiver manufacturing process (where it was forged into shape first, then machined), a new two-piece bolt design with the original Mauser claw extractors removed (and replaced with wedge-shaped ones), hammer-forged barrels and the use of aluminum alloy on various parts. Most notably, the Model 70 used a new push-feed system instead of the original Mauser-style controlled round feeding system. This was seen as detrimental to the gun despite it apparently not affecting performance of the weapon as a whole, and eventually causing prices of what would be known as "pre-64" Model 70s to increase in value due to their perceived better quality.

The second change came in 1968 in an attempt to address user concerns. Most notably, changes involved the action; an "anti-bind" action was added which comprised a groove in an extended right locking lug in a rib on the right of the receiver. This is said to have made the action smoother and has been continued in current-production Model 70s.

The final change in manufacturing came in 1992, after the U.S. Repeating Arms Company went out of business in 1989 and was subsequently acquired by FN Herstal, which set out to improve the design even further so that it could be marketed worldwide. A large variety of configurations was made available, including the introduction of the Model 70 Classic reintroducing the Mauser controlled feed system. Current production Model 70s also feature the "M.O.A. trigger system", a three-lever trigger system.
