I was approached yesterday by a customer of mine asking me my opinion on 2 model 70’s. Of course I had to tell him I am not well versed in the world of 70’s. But I did tell him I would reach out to fellow members here for their thoughts. so here they are.
I know there isn’t alot of pictures of them, But I said I would try. Thanks

They also have an 1886 45-70 SN 78, think the price is too high–lack of condition, but 2 digit SN–Bill

The featherweight has a polished extractor, as appears from the picture. The Super Grade appears to be missing the Super Grade sling swivels, sight hood, and does not appear to have the proper gold bead front sight. The pictures are not the best. So, I won’t add any more comments. They would make fine hunting rifles. After reading the description it states that a sling, and Super Grade swivels are included. I did not see them pictured.

Thanks Bo I was hoping you and Lou would chime in. I think he is just looking for a couple of good hunting rifles and I had no advise for him on these, They don’t have a lever. LOL! So thanks again and will pass this on.

I’m not understanding why he wouldn’t be looking for a .45-90 to hunt with?
