Stevens Model 70 Visable Loading Repeater 22 lr Pump Rifle

Light & Popular SLIDE ACTION Rifle From the ROARING TWENTIES

This is a very good condition C&R Stevens No. 70 Visible Loading Repeater Slide
Action Rifle, made circa 1920 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.
This rifle is chambered in the popular .22 Caliber Rimfire and was usually purchased
youths in the early 20th Century. This would have been the rifle that the person learned
on, plinked and hunted with.

The Visible Loading Repeater, commonly and eventually officially shortened to
Visible Loader, was introduced in 1908, and products based on its action were in
production through 1934.
It's impossible to date them with much certainty thanks to both the loss of the
company's records from before World War II and the fact that for some unknown
reason they repeated serial numbers.

We know this one is from right around 1920, sometime after Savage took over
because the markings on top still say Visible Loading Repeater, but is also has
the “SVG” cartouche on the left side of the receiver. This was changed to Visible Loader
a little while after the Savage takeover on April 1, 1920. Also, Savage added an SVG
cartouche to the left side of the receiver, which this rifle does not have.
Total production of the No. 70 was, as well as can be estimated, is somewhere
north of 100,000, which implies that each serial number was used at least three and
probably four times.
The overall condition is nearing fine. Original blue finish. Excellent action. bright,
sharply rifled bore.
The stock is solid containing an expected amount of wear (usual dent and dings).
Comes with original butt pad.
Foregrip has small chip on left side.
The screw heads on receiver has damage indicating the gun has been opended up
a few times

Barrel is 22 inches.

Caliber: .22 Short, Long or Long Rifle Rimfire

Serial number is either 668 or 899 depending whiuch way you look at it..
