The one picture you can make out the claw extractor. The serial number from its font size and number of digits makes it early 90's New Gaven production.

Zooming in on my laptop made out what looks like G##### number and its similar to my SS 30-06, which put mine in first year or two of the New Haven Classic production.

68OLDS Report post Posted March 5, 2021 How do you like your early new haven m70? There’s debate whether these early guns were the best since the pre-64. How do you like the fit/finish? I hear the trigger is excellent as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucks&bulls Report post Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I have a model 70 classic in .270 Winchester, not sure of year. Bought it used unfired. Blue steel, wood stock. I was told the factory trigger was worked on at Don’s Sport Shop. The rifle is very accurate, smooth action, fit and finish is pretty good. A friend who passed away last year had two classics, one was stainless, earlier production and the other was blue, later production - both were nice rifles. I am somewhat surprised this has not sold. Especially considering the aftermarket barrel, bedded action and very attractive price. Edited March 5, 2021 by Bucks&bulls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
