Two pages from the original Model 70 Green Brochure. Winchester was certainly proud of the rifle.
IMHO the pre-war .30GOV’T’06. Standard Rifle is the quintessential Model 70 with a look, finish and feel second to none. Best of all there are still honest examples out there that can be had without breaking the bank.
Aside from the asking price, I do see the desirability of this pair of rifles. If I were a serious M70 collector and had spent decades putting a collection of them together … and if I were to display that collection at the top guns shows around the country … having that pair as part of the display would be quite the coup. They would be the first and second rifle to start the display out
