This post-1964 Model 70 uses the push-feed system with a recessed bolt face, rotating extractor, and plunger ejector. The bolt body is jeweled, and the safety is the bolt-shroud thumb type. Feeding is from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, providing a 5+1 capacity.
The 22 inch steel barrel carries the "WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL" marking and wears a blued finish that matches the receiver. Sighting is via an adjustable open rear barrel sight and a ramped front blade on a forged base. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, with filler screws in place.
The walnut Monte Carlo stock includes a cheekpiece and cut checkering for secure handling. It is accented with a black forend tip and white-line spacer, a pistol-grip cap with white-line spacer, and a black buttplate with white-line spacer. Sling swivel studs are installed, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Production is from New Haven, Connecticut in the 1970s era, specifically 1974. The G-prefix serial format reflects post-1968 manufacture. This rifle is chambered in .30-06 Springfield and was built in the United States.
