643...thanks for your detailed reply. This rifle was donated to the local chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and was brought to me to see what is worth and how they can use it in thier local dinner, as it turns out this is most probiliy a parts gun, SN is above cut off for Super Grade guns, has metal butt like a pre 64 and should have a solid rubber recoil pad, front sight not marked "Redfields" as SG would and under barrel is buffed over .243 but no "Super" as it should have.....all this other knowledgeable Winchester collectors have told me over last few days...but I do know bluing as have done it for 30 years and this was re-blued....thanks for your reply
