Built in 1954, this Pre-64 Model 70 combines a controlled-round-feed, cock-on-open bolt with a full-length extractor and coned breech. The action layout and the three-position wing safety are hallmarks of the era, and the adjustable trigger provides a user-tunable pull within the classic design.
The 24-inch steel barrel is paired with iron sights, including a ramped front sight. The receiver is drilled and tapped on the ring and bridge for scope bases, and the left side is drilled and tapped for a receiver sight, supporting a range of sighting setups without altering the rifle’s character.
The stock is walnut with a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece for a steady cheek weld. Checkering at the grip and forend enhances control, while sling swivel studs and the installed ventilated recoil pad support field use. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Feeding is through an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, backed by a steel trigger guard, and capacity is 5+1 in .30-06. Made in the USA during the 1950s, this Standard Rifle variant reflects the configuration and features that define Pre-64 Model 70 production.
