Manufactured in 1942. Fitted with a hooded ramp front sight. A Lyman Alaskan All-Weather scope is installed in the rear sight slot and a side mounted M.L. Stith block. Standard markings, with ".30 GOV'T'06" and a flaming bomb cartouche on the barrel and matching serial number on the underside of the bolt in electric pencil. Checkered pistol grip stock with the left side of the stock above the trigger guard bearing the "RIA/FK3" cartouche, sling swivels and checkered buttplate. Winchester made less than 2,800 of these rifles for the military to be used as sniper rifles.

Excellent, with 95% of the original blue, showing a few small areas of fading on top of the barrel, minor spotting near the frame, and scattered light handling marks. Stock is excellent, with light pressure dents concentrated around the action and on the buttstock. Scope is good, and the action is excellent. A scarce U.S. Model 70 in excellent condition.
