Winchester Model 70 National Match

Does anyone know if Winchester put any special care into the manufacture and assembly of Model 70 National Match or Target rifles? I've never read anything about how these rifles were assembled, but logically they must have received some special care, especially if buyers were shooters who would use these rifles for match purposes, expected an exacting degree of accuracy, and were willing to shell out extra money for a specialty factory gun? If treated differently than other Models 70, what were the differences? Just trying to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks.

Winchester took a great deal of pride in the quality and accuracy of all their firearms, and were particularly proud of both their rimfire and centerfire target versions, which dominated the competition from inception up well into the 1960's.
