[I saw a SEARS MODEL 53 bolt action rifle in 30-06, on the tag it was marked WINCHESTER MOD. 70. The person next to me purcased it for $250.00, and told me it was a pre-64. I agree it is a WINCHESTER but a pre-64? ]

It was a pre-64 ONLY if it's bolt had a long/external claw extractor, and not the post-64's small one.

AFAIK, the Sears/Winchester contract was signed, to be effective with Winchester's post-64 rifles & shotguns, up until Sears discontimued firearms sales.
