Guns Listing ID: 541518
The Winchester Model 70 XTR Sporter is a classic bolt-action rifle that represents a significant period in the history of the legendary Model 70, often referred to as \"The Rifleman‚s Rifle.\"
Background and Era (Post-1964 Improvements):
To understand the XTR Sporter, it‚s essential to briefly touch upon the Model 70‚s broader history. The original \"Pre-64\" Model 70s (1936-1963) are highly prized by collectors for their controlled-round feed action and manufacturing quality. However, in 1964, Winchester made significant design and manufacturing changes to the Model 70 to reduce production costs. These \"Post-64\" rifles were initially met with considerable criticism from traditionalists and enthusiasts who perceived a drop in quality.
In response to this backlash and a desire to restore Winchester‚s reputation for quality, the company embarked on a process of continuous improvement throughout the 1970s. The \"XTR\" designation, which stands for \"Extra Tough Rifle,\" emerged from this effort.
Production Years: The Winchester Model 70 XTR Sporter series was primarily produced from 1978 and continued until around 1992.
