UPGRADED Pre-64 WINCHESTER Model 70 .300 H&H Bolt Action C&R SPORTING Rifle
Classic .300 HOLLAND & HOLLAND MAGNUM Rifle
Here Ancestry Guns presents an Upgraded C&R Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut in 1947 and subsequently upgraded to the Super Grade configuration. In 1936, Winchester introduced the Model 70 bolt-action rifle to the American market. The Model 70 was largely based on the Model 54 and is today still highly regarded by shooters and is often called “The Rifleman's Rifle”. In 1999 Shooting Times magazine named the Model 70 the “Bolt-action Rifle of the Century”.
The pre-1964 Model 70s were manufactured from 1936 through 1963 after which time significant changes in the design and manufacture of the rifles were made. Pre-1964 Model 70s are better received by the general population due to the quality of these earlier model rifles. They have several desirable features including the Mauser type controlled round feed and the cut checkering that the post-1964 version didn’t have. Model 70 rifles with serial numbers below 700,000 are the pre-1964 variety. The receivers of these Model 70s were machined from bar stock steel.
The United States Marine Corps purchased a limited number Model 70 rifles in May, 1942. Although the Marine Corps officially used only the M1 Garand and the M1903 Springfield as sniper rifles during the Second World War, many Winchester Model 70s showed up at training camps and in actual field use during the Pacific campaign.
This example is professionally refinished. The overall condition is very fine. Excellent action. Smooth finishes. Negligible handling evidence on the fine stock. Sharp checkering. Marckings are sharp. The bore is bright with crisp rifling. The buttstock has been shortened. The front triggerguard screw is slightly long and impedes full closure of the floorplate. Drilled and tapped barrel. Filler screws are absent.
