It is not a Super Grade, it is an XTR. That is the grade. They had pretty nice wood and cut checkering, and cost about $75 more than a standard grade Model 70 when they were brand new. They were shiny and had that plastic forend cap, and some people loved them. Others didn't like them and thought they were trying to copy Remington's rifles with the high-gloss finish. On the gun auction sites, they sell for the same price as a standard Model 70 unless they are like new. Yours looks pretty nice from the pics.
