The letter congratulates the buyer on selecting the Model 70 which is part of a unique set of 11 rifles consecutively serial numbered, chambered in 11 different calibers and known as the "ULTRA SET". The work was done in the Model 21 Custom Shop, the components of this model had been custom fitted and finished by hand, and that the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Ultra Grade 1 of 1000 barrel was replaced with a standard barrel in a specific caliber.
