help identify this action

hey all i got a win 70 long action but im a lil unsure of what year it is i wanted to know if by looking at it. if you all could help me out. i do notice that it does not have the big Mauser Extractor on it but i do know it is a post 64 and i know in 70 they came out with a win 70 that most ppl didnt like so by mid to late 70's they went back to some older style stuff but kept some of the new stuff....im just hopeing this isnt one of the early 70's

the gunsmith i got it from didnt know he said it could be late 70's early 80's just wanted to see what you all thought.

thanks alot everyone

also i was told it had an aftermarket trigger on it can anyone tell what kind just by looking at it.
thanks again

Re: help identify this action

Looking at the bolt shroud it looks like a Model 670 with a Rifle Basix adjustable trigger with a trigger shoe added.

The Model 670 was a budget built push feed Model 70.

Hope this helps.

Yes that does help I thank you for taking the time to look at it for me. I need to ask my Smith for the numbers on it somtime I hope it isn't a 670 not when I paid 450 for what I was told was a m70

Ok if I was reading things right the m670 has a sliding safty other trigger this one I got has it on the bolt its a 3 position so I'm hoping it is a m70 lol

Re: help identify this action

I have an action that was identical to yours. It is a M70. Back in the 70's and 80's, there was a model out called the XTR also one called a Ranger. I believe one of these would be what ours were originally. Mine was originally chambered in .243. Being a long action, I went with the 280AI on my GAP build. I don't recognize your trigger, definitely an added trigger shoe. My action has become very smooth, trigger is awesome and the rifle shoots like a GAP should. I can't wait to bloody it this next week!

Looks like yours has been trued already? It will make a good build for sure.
