i obtained this gun in a trade several years ago and i still cant figure out the year it was made or find any pics online of this gun. the barrel markings are, winchester model 70 30-06 sprg. the receiver has g2260654. and the bolt has 0654 hand engraved into it. any info would be great. thanks, jim

called winchester today. 1999 is the year and that series was made specially for................................................................................................................................WALMART! was hoping for better news but it is still an awesome shooter. it was rusted really bad and i worked most of the pits out and blued it. looks ok but had i known it was a walmart gun i might have not put that much time and effort into it.

winchester answered all my questions on the first call. they also told me there were some canadian models made that were made for the department stores had no replacement parts or any way to identify them
