Idg397: Good find on your part.
Never miss a chance to go to a gunshow - never know what you will find.
In fact back in 1969 I attended a gunshow where I found and bought a Winchester pre-64 Model 70 Standard Rifle in 30/06 caliber.
The serial number dates it to May 3rd of 1954 production.
It has been a sweetheart for me since day one.
I have only tried ONE bullet in this Rifle and I suggest it to you - the wonderful, accurate and reliable Nosler 165 grain Partition!
Over the next 3 1/2 decades I harvested all manner of Big Game with it including Mt. Goat, Elk, Antelope, 3 species of Deer and Black Bear with this Rifle ammo combo.
Back in about 2,006 - 2,007 I "retired" this Rifle and am still letting it enjoy its well deserved time off.
I hope YOU will be as happy with your gunshow find as I have been with mine.
By the way I originally mounted a Leupold 3x9 variable scope on it - later I "up-graded" to a Leupold 3.5x10 variable.
Again good for you - and if you intend to Hunt with it be sure to try that Nosler Partition.
Hold into the wind
