Early post 64 supergrade 375hh|Winchester Rifles|Forum|Winchester Collector

Without some photography, nobody is going to spend time trying to answer your question. How early is “early?” Do you know the date of manufacture? Can you furnish a partial serial # so a d.o.m. can be approximated? 

There was no Super Grade style catalogued as such in 1964. Is the floorplate stamped “Super Grade?”  

Does your rifle look something like  the attached images?

If you will do your part, somebody will try to help as a matter ot courtesy.  My suggestion is you start at the butt of the rifle and photograph the entire bolt side of the rifle in a series of closeup images,  each image covering about 20% of that side, all the way to the tip of the muzzle. 

Then do the same for the off-side view, then the dorsal and ventral views. Remove the bolt, insert a dim light in the muzzle and photograph the bore from the breech end. 

That’s at least 25 to 30 images. 

Because you are a WACA member, you can post these images directly to this new topic. 

You are welcome.  I should mention the photos I showed you are of a 1980 “XTR Magnum” version of the Model 70, in this case chambered in 375 Holland. It was not marked or catalogued as a “Super Grade”. The extra finish Model 70 offered during the “Push Feed Era” of Olin’s ownership – 1964 through 1980 – was initially called the “Deluxe” style and later the “XTR” style. Sometimes the “XTR Deluxe”.  

From memory, I had thought some push feed Model 70 rifles were cataloged as “Super Grade” during 1966 – 1968 but I can’t find any evidence of it so far. 

I forgot to ask. Is yours a push feed rifle?
