Description:

Manufactured in 1957. Super Grade Featherweight Model 70 rifles in 243 Winchester were manufactured as part of a limited production run. The rifle has a hooded ramp front sight, an adjustable folding leaf rear sight and a receiver tapped for scope/sight mounting. Jewelled bolt, follower, and extractor with the bolt numbered to the gun. It has a late type safety. There are standard markings including the Winchester factory proof on the barrel and receiver at the breech and "-SUPER GRADE-" marked on the hinged floor plate. The highly figured select walnut pistol grip stock has a raised comb, cheekpiece, multi-point checkering, ebony forend tip, grip cap, quick release sling swivels and aluminum buttplate. The factory box has the correct yellow end label numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished with the rear portion of the bolt assembly having been refinished. The triggerguard is also refinished. The balance of rifle retains 99% of the blue finish showing some light thinning on the bolt handle knob. The stock is excellent with a couple minor handling marks. The checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent. The box is good.
