This rifle uses Winchester’s post-1964 push-feed action with a plunger ejector, a small extractor, and dual locking lugs. The bolt body is jeweled, and the bolt and receiver are matching-numbered. Feeding is via an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate and an inside-the-guard release, with a capacity of 3+1.
The 24-inch sporter-taper steel barrel is chambered in .264 Win. Mag. and is rollmarked "WINCHESTER MODEL—70 264 WIN MAGNUM." It retains the factory ramped front sight base with a serrated ramp. The rear sight is absent, and the two factory mounting holes at that position are plugged.
The receiver is drilled and tapped, and two-piece Weaver-style scope bases are installed. The barreled action wears a blued finish and carries period-correct markings including "WINCHESTER — PROOF STEEL" and "WINCHESTER TRADE MARK."
The Monte Carlo stock includes a cheekpiece, impressed point-pattern checkering, sling swivel loops, and a ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer. Length of pull is 13.0 inches. This U.S.-made example represents a late-1960s production configuration from 1968.
