The 24 inch steel barrel is marked Winchester Proof Steel and wears a hooded front ramp sight. Winchester 'WP' proof marks are present on both the barrel and receiver ring. The rifle retains a blued finish on the steel receiver and barrel.
The walnut stock has cut checkering, a straight comb with no cheekpiece, and a pistol-grip style. Hardware includes a steel checkered buttplate, integral sling swivel loops, and a steel hinged floorplate. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Optics are provided by a J. Unertl Hawk 4x scope with a fine crosshair reticle. It is mounted in a Paul Jaeger quick-detach side mount, with the base marked 'PAUL JAEGER — JENKINTOWN, PA.' The setup is installed and ready for use.
Chambered in .270 Win with a 4-round capacity, this post-WWII Standard Rifle submodel brings together the hallmark features of early Model 70 production with quality steel construction and factory-style sights.
