I am interested in picking up a Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in 30-06 for deer, potentially in the used market though I'm also considering a new one.
I am having trouble telling which model 70's online (at gunsinternational, for example) are super grade. Is there a way from markings or serial number to tell this if the advertiser doesn't specifically specify it as such?
Also, any other recommendations for hunting for a used one? I've never bought a used gun before.
P.S. To brag a little, I got a 12 point buck (192 pounds, 16" spread) this weekend with a borrowed 30-06. I'm hooked.
