Can someone please explain this to me.
I remember the term related to Model 70 bolt action rifles, denoting when they changed from an action based on a '98 Mauser, to one of Winchester's own design.
...However, these days...
It seems every rifle Winchester made at the time is separated into a "Pre-'64" catagory and a "non Pre-'64" catagory.
Has this become a marketing term, taken over by the collector market so they can gouge the pricing on Winchester rifles?
It seems there's a lot of confusion concerning this.
It shouldn't bother me......but it does.
