Purchased this last month… took a while to take possession. It may not appeal to the pure Winchester Model 70 “collector” out there, but I couldn’t resist. Pre-war .220 Swift. Bore is in nice shape… The metal has been refinished, but I absolutely love the stock work. I have a soft spot for the classic custom gun makers… Griffin & Howe, Sedgley, Jaeger & others… something about the hunting rifles of that era just brings a smile to my face.
Nice. I also have a spot in my collecting for customs. Especially war time 8mm Mausers with the German markings in place.
Ben,
A very nice example as I can appreciate it as others do. My good friend had a Hart Bull barrel put on a 1949 model 70 and in the 220 Swift as we’ve taken woodchucks at our farm/hunting property in PA over the years and a few other not to far off places. The thing is that dog gone thing weighs a ton so we don’t try to drag it too far. LOL! 
Thanks for Sharing and enjoy your find,

Hi Ben-
Very attractive M70!!! Kind of has the lines of a pre-war Super Grade only with a more scope-friendly stock and better looking cheekpiece.
Would you mind sharing the serial number (here or by PM) so I can add it to the M70 survey? All entries in the survey are anonymous (as to owner) when the rifles are in private hands.
Best,

Beautiful gun. That looks like a Fritz Voight stock, is it stamped FRV anywhere?
