Thanks but i dont have a s/n to input im looking for like a 2 million s/n when production ended. I have been on that site before looking for my newer mdl 70 supergrade date of manufacture to no avail.

Here is a quote from an article in the Gun Digest Book of the Hunting Rifle (author Jack Lewis)

" In late 1963 the last pre-64 Model 70's were assembled and shipped to storage and distribution. Serial numbered in the 500,000 range, these rifles reflect the poorest quality of the pre-64 versions."

Pretty general but I hope this helps you out.

I asked a similar question about a 300 H&H and I got this..

Serial number less than 581471 = buy it (I would).


So i say somewhere in there.

It has a complete list of all production #'s for each year

When production of the Model 94 started up after the 64 change over, the numbers started at 2,900,000.

Go to Rimfire central, click on Winchester, then open the thread that says date of manufacture, then open it up and go to model 70 and click on it, maybe help you out?

the last model 70 pre 64 serial number should be 581,471
If thats what your asking

"Blue Book of Gun Values" 29th ed. notations:

Model 70 Winchester Serial Nos. ended with 581471 in 1963.

All post '64 Model 70's began with the Serial no. 700000.

At the end of 1964, Serial no. 740,599. The "G" prefix was introduced in 1969, ending the year at G941900. 1991 year-end was G2037985.

Ask enough "old farts" on here, you should be able to come up with a pretty good idea about something. Hope this helps !

For your post 64 there is not a list that will help you date your rifle to a single year of production. US reapeating arm was not very forthcoming when they owned Winchester, it would be nice if we could start a data base of serial # of post 64 guns to help us gunnutz types. Last night the first vote on scraping the registry happened!!! lets not stop writing to our representitives to get rid of this invation of privacy of law biding citizens. Were 1 step closer to get rid of this clusterf*@k
