"The ultimate necessity for collectors of any item is a book which tells them what they have and what they need… this book meets that need for the Model 70."---C. R. Suydam, The Gun Report
“For those who would like to delve further into the history and development of the Model 70, we recommend The Rifleman’s Rifle by Roger C. Rule.”---American Rifleman
"Let me tell you that I think your book on the Model 70 Winchester rifle is absolutely wonderful. The work you put into this book is astounding."---Jim Carmichel, Outdoor Life
The book is a masterpiece of information on the subject of the Model 70, 1936-1963 Winchester rifle. It is THE definitive work on the ‘Pre-64’ Model 70 authorized by Winchester (both Olin Corporation and U.S. Repeating Arms Co.)
With more than 500 photographs, The Rifleman's Rifle studies the pre-64 Model 70 in detail and presents fresh information on the Model 54 and the new Model 70.
Factory blueprints, records of Net Orders Received, shipping ledgers, and the Basic Nomenclature List were analyzed for this thoroughly researched book, and factory catalogs for every year were studied. The book also contains an exhaustive listing of serial numbers and production dates.
Additionally, Rule personally interviewed key Winchester managers who actually designed, manufactured, and sold the Model 70. If you are on a mission to find the best old shooter or learn more about the guns as collector's items, this is the book for you.
