Winchester ~ 70 ~ .220 Swift

This Winchester Model 70 chambered in .220 Swift is a desirable pre-64 example, serial number 50010, manufactured circa 1945 based on Winchester serial number records. The rifle remains in good overall vintage condition, showing honest handling and field wear consistent with age, including light marks on the walnut stock and finish wear on the included scope. It is equipped with a vintage Lyman Alaskan scope mounted in Griffin & Howe quick-detach mounts, along with factory iron sights and sling swivels, making it an attractive package for both collectors and shooters. Introduced in 1936, the Winchester Model 70 quickly earned the nickname "The Rifleman's Rifle" due to its robust controlled-round-feed action, accuracy, and quality craftsmanship. The .220 Swift chambering is particularly noteworthy, as it was one of the earliest commercially successful high-velocity varmint cartridges and remains highly regarded among enthusiasts. Pre-64 Model 70 rifles are especially sought after today for their classic design, machining quality, and important place in American sporting arms history
