Does anyone know the difference between these two Winchester Model 70 Sharpshooter models?

One has stamped on the barrel, "Classic Sporting Sharpshooter"

And the other has has stamped on the barrel "Sporting Sharpshooter"

And if one model is better than the other model?

Thanks!

I do not see a reply answering this post from 6 years ago. From what little I know about the Winchester 'Sharpshooter', the difference was the bolt. The "Classic" Sporting Sharpshooter had the pre-64 type of Controlled Round Feed. And the other Sporting Sharpshooter had the push-feed bolt.
