Manufactured in 1950 during a period that saw an increase in yearly production to satisfy the growing demand for the Model 70. The rifle is a deluxe version of the standard rifle with Type III receiver. The barrel and receiver are without the factory proof (note that on occasion pre-64 Model 70s will be found with either or both proofs missing). Equipped with a hooded ramp front sight with a filler block in the rear sight slot and a period scope mount on the left side of the receiver. Polished bolt (not numbered), straight receiver tang, late safety, and Super Grade quick release sling swivels. Standard Winchester legend on the left side of the barrel and "-SUPER GRADE-" marked on the hinged floor plate. Select walnut checkered and capped pistol grip stock with cheekpiece and checkered steel buttplate.

Excellent. The rifle retains 98% original blue finish with some mild high edge wear, an area of light spotting on the floor plate and a series of minor scratches on the trigger guard. The bolt handle has been ground (likely to clear a scope). The stock is excellent with some scattered minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Some flaking and crazing of the finish featured on the forearm tip is present.
