This is one of the M-70 target rifles made by Winchester in 1994 or early ’95. At which time Winchester was interested in reestablishing their former target rifle dominance. As details in pics show, the rifle has a stainless CRF short action identifiable by clip slots in rear bridge and notched front bridge. The distinctive stock has adjustable features typical of HP target rifle stocks at that time. I used this rifles across the course at the 1995 High Power National Matches at Camp Perry, and there two other identical rifles fired there. I’m guessing that Winchester built at least 10 rifles like this, most of which were distributed to elite shooters for testing and feedback. So the mystery is where are they now, other than the three I know of?
