    It is a Winchester Model 70 made specifically for Sears & Roebuck.

    firepacer12,

    Welcome to the Gunbroker forums!

    There are probably a 1/2 dozen websites that have a list of crossover manufacturers.

    I just took a quick look at the Hoosier Gunworks list and this is what was in their database:

    Sears T.W. 73 273.1870 Winchester NM 70

    http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/catalog/cross_reference.html

    I don't do evaluations and most of the folks here will want to see photographs in order to determine condition. So if you can post some quality photos of the entire rifle and detail photos of the action and barrel, you might get a pretty good idea.

    Best.
