The rifle has been rebarreled by StockWorks (Mesa, AZ) to a 24-inch .300 Winchester Magnum configuration, noted on the barrel. The steel barrel is finished without open sights, supporting a clean top profile paired with the installed two-piece Weaver-style bases. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory.
Built on the Pre-64 controlled-round-feed action, it uses the long claw extractor and a three-position bolt-shroud wing safety. The bolt body is jeweled, and the internal box magazine feeds through a hinged floorplate with a 3+1 capacity.
The custom walnut stock is highly figured and tastefully executed, with wraparound bordered checkering featuring fleur-de-lis accents. A shadow-line cheekpiece, polished steel fore-end cap, and black recoil pad complete the stock work, with sling-swivel studs installed. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Receiver manufacture dates to 1957 and the rifle presents a cohesive blued-steel finish across receiver and barrel. The package offers a strong blend of classic Pre-64 Model 70 attributes with quality custom work and a powerful magnum chambering.
