Once again I need access to your knowledge on Winchester firearms. This time I have found a Model 70 Featherweight in .308 for sale. I always wanted such a firearm even though I mainly collect the later lever actions made by Winchester.
Anyway, I have discovered it is not that easy to identify when a Model 70 was made and with which features a rifle like this came with judging by the serial number alone. I believe the rifle in question is made sometimes after 1968 judging by the serial number starting with the letter "G".


I have sent the seller a message asking for more details. In the meantime I hope you guys can shed some light on the weapon I might purchase. I have attached a couple of photos copied from the seller´s ad. Hopefully that will be sufficient for you guys who know far more on the topic of model 70s than I do.


Thanks in advance for any input, have a great day!


Sincerely,

You need better pictures. Also, take a close-up of the bolt area. Too may possibilities with the description and poor photos to give you accurate information.
 
yes need much better picture. Have a 70 in 243 with a ser # 451xxx and its pre , In fact it was my first rifle. Bot that one back in the 60's maybe 63-64. STILL HAVE IT.
