its a winchester for starters. LOL! depends on what year the rifle was made in, as to what you've got. also depends on which exact model. the model 70 is generally a very good rifle. usually they are accurate guns, and they have a very simple to adjust trigger.

Nice. My 700 is set up like that, retaining the iron sights. When I used to hunt with it in AZ, I liked knowing I had back up in the event of scope failure. The scope is a beauty BTW, a real keeper

that puts its value as a shooter only, as 1964 till the mid 70's were considered the bad years. if it shoots well, it will make a fine hunting rifle.

I hunt with a Model 70 .300 win mag. Mine is '90's vintage, but it is a great hunting rifle.
