Wanted Winchester Model 70 Super Grade 7x57

It appears @WAB is correct - somewhat a bit of a hybrid. Differences I notice: the barrel is marked "FEATHERWEIGHT," the crossbolt isn't the standard engraved metal and the wood is most outstanding for a factory supergrade.

Here’s the label on the factory box.

Yes they are definitely a little different. Awesome rifles.
 
There was one at Gun Sport LTD in Odessa, Tx
The last time I was in there
The store number is 432-362-8696, ready-set-go! Just be warned the price is higher than Giraffe Va-jay-jay!
 
Beautiful rifle. I never doubted its authenticity/originalness. My comments were attempting to detail the differences between this special run and regular supergrades.
Yup, I didn't take it like that at all. Just wanted to provide that pic for reference and researching pleasure for those interested in these M70s :D Beers:
 

Here's one on Rock Island schedule for February's auction.

Custom rifle...
 
I like it but the first I would have to have done is a re-blue job. It appears the barrel is in terrible condition.

Well, sir, I am mighty impressed with the quality of the shell cordovan belt. I have several pairs of shoes that are shell cordovan, but had balked at paying over half that price for just a belt. Wouldn't be surprised if this belt doesn't last the rest of my life--for its color application. It sure is a universe removed from the cheaply constructed yet expensive stuff being put out there. Worth the price I paid.
getting ready for a 5 day sable hunt!
