Thank you! Now, does that serial number tell you exactly which model this is? It is a .300 Win Mag with a Monte Carlo Stock and a black tipped forend and pistol grip. It has wrap around checkering. The bolt is jewelled. I'm trying to find the Blue Book value on this rifle. I would rate it in 90% condition. Thanks again!!!

Post 1981 production was by the U.S. Repeating Arms Company.
Your Model 70 was manufactured in the year 1975, and No, the serial number does not identify the specific variant or caliber.

The Blue Book is not completely accurate (nor is Madis)[xx(].

madis's #'s may not be perfectly accurate but his book's sure are a good way to learn about old model winchester's. i'm waiting on bert's model 12 book too add to my collection. these post 64' model 70's seem to be taking some collector's interest cause they sell quick with good conditon
Ummmm.... I am writing a reference book for the Model 1885 Single Shot[:0][:D]. Dave Riffle wrote the book on the Model 12[:)].
