I am aware it is not a high $$$ "sniper rifle", but I recently accquired a nice little bolt action on trade and I am wondering what you gents can tell me about her?
She is a Winchester Model 70 in .30-06, marked "Winchester Model 70 cal 30-06 SPRG" on the left side of the barrel and "Ranger" written in cursive on the right. It has fixed front sight and a flip up rear sight on a quaint little wood stock. Very smooth.
What is there to know about this? Is this simply an economy line Mod 70? What do I need to know about it if I go to replace the stock? Is it Pre- or Post-64 extractor? Did I even remember that correctly?
Thanks in advance.
