Description
The Winchester Model 70 Pre-64 is a family of bolt-action rifles available in a wide variety of calibers.

The Model 70 Pre-64 was available with barrels at 22, 24, or 26 inches of length, while the stock is checkered to ensure users have a firm grasp on these half-century old classic rifles. Shooting Times named this the Bolt-action Rifle of the Century in 1999.
