Filmjunkie4ever: Thank you for that link - it was a pleasing and informative read.
Killed my first head of Big Game with a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 fifty five (55!) years ago next month.
Yeah many great memories of mine for Big Game and Varmint Hunting include pre-64 Winchester Model 70's.
Long live The Riflemans Rifle!

I have only been hunting for about half as long as you. I killed my first few animals with Savage 99, Remington 700 and Ruger 77 rifles. Bought my first Model 70 at age 18, a Classic Stainless .30-06. It was the first gun I ever saw with a Walnut stock and Stainless Steel finish. It is my absolute favorite rifle. I just got my first Pre-64 Model 70 (also a .30-06) last spring. I.AM.HOOKED!
