Model 70 WWII|Winchester Military Arms|Forum|Winchester Collector

Winchester Model 70s have been used in War, Police work, and Security efforts.  Of course it would be.  It is the finest magazine rifle to be manufactured.  I am proud to say that  my Father in law.  Jim Moon used his 1958 Standard Model .30’06 when he was a young patrolman on the Cleveland Police department.  The time was July 1966.  The Hugh riots had started.  Jim originally from South Western Pa.  was a avid deer hunter.  Jim told me that his Captain asked him to take a roof top position with him when night fell.  Jim spent the rest of the riots working in that capacity.  This of course was a time before most Police Departments had “Special Weapons”.  After Jim passed away Ann, my Mother in law gave me his rifle.  I used it to take a Buck in Pa that Fall.  The rifle still has the Lyman 4 power All- American scope, and leather sling.  A treasure that I am proud to own.
