Built on the post-64 push-feed action, this Model 70 uses a plunger ejector and small extractor, paired with Winchester’s three-position safety. The internal box magazine offers a 4+1 capacity and uses a hinged floorplate with a release ahead of the trigger for straightforward unloading.

The front sight hood is not installed. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and a scope mount is already in place.
The aftermarket walnut Monte Carlo sporter stock is a focal point. It features a Monte Carlo cheekpiece, cut checkering for grip, sculpted flutes, an inset oval medallion, and a checkered metal buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, and fixed oval sling-swivel loops are installed at the toe-line of the butt and under the fore-end.
Fit and finish details include a polished bolt body and uniform blued steel on the receiver and barrel. This rifle was manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut, and the G-prefix serial indicates post-1968 production, aligning with the noted 1971 manufacture year.
