It appears @WAB is correct - somewhat a bit of a hybrid. Differences I notice: the barrel is marked "FEATHERWEIGHT," the crossbolt isn't the standard engraved metal and the wood is most outstanding for a factory supergrade.

Here’s the label on the factory box.

Yes they are definitely a little different. Awesome rifles.
 
There was one at Gun Sport LTD in Odessa, Tx
The last time I was in there
The store number is 432-362-8696, ready-set-go! Just be warned the price is higher than Giraffe Va-jay-jay!
 
Beautiful rifle. I never doubted its authenticity/originalness. My comments were attempting to detail the differences between this special run and regular supergrades.
Yup, I didn't take it like that at all. Just wanted to provide that pic for reference and researching pleasure for those interested in these M70s :D Beers:
 

Here's one on Rock Island schedule for February's auction.

Custom rifle...
 
I like it but the first I would have to have done is a re-blue job. It appears the barrel is in terrible condition.
 
I am looking to purchase a Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in 7x57mm Mauser
They were a Shot Show Special around 2014 or so. I've got one, South Carolina FN models and I love it. But like everyone says it's not really marked Supergrade like it should be. Just a Featherweight with the fancy walnut.

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
