I bought this rifle a couple years ago, from a pawn shop. It’s in excellent condition, and I got a great deal on it. It seems to be a little different from a basic model 70, as it has a heavy barrel, which looks professionally floated, but I think it’s factory floated. It’s a heavy rifle, and the forearm is “fat”, almost like a bench target rifle, but it is not “flat”, as most bench target rifles are on the underside of the forearm. It just says Winchester Model 70 270 WSM on the barrel. The serial number prefix is a G. I took a couple of pictures with the serial, and was wondering if anybody knows if this is simply a “plain” model 70. It is extremely accurate. Thanks….Rick

Richard,
The subject rifle is not a “Winchester” Model 70. Instead, it was manufactured by the U.S. Repeating Arms Company (USRACo), most likely after the year 2000. While there might be someone on the WACA forum who can answer your question, in general there is very little interest in the modern Model 70 rifles.
