Winchester 70 Custom High Grade #13631976 03/06/19 Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 613 W Whatchaketchemon OP Campfire Regular OP Whatchaketchemon Campfire Regular W Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 613 I traded into a NIB rifle that I thought was a Super Grade but the floor plate has custom high grade engraved into it. Its chambered in 25-06. Anyone know anything about these rifles? Cant find much info on the Google machine. Thanks.

Mine has the same floor plate but the standard sporter style supergrade stock with the ebony for end tip. Mine also has a very high grade wood stock and for being brand new I would have to guess about a crisp 3 pound trigger pull.

Thanks for the help. The rifle was originally won at an Oregon Hunters Association banquet and was like that when my buddy won it. That makes sense though since there don't seem to be any other ones like it. How does yours shoot?

With a 130 grain .277" Swift A-Frame it's around an inch at 100 yards. I used a 130 grain Trophy Bonded Tip for this deer.
