Kind of hard to call at small magnification but I’d slso say it’s a Remington 700, the Winchester Model 70 would have a visible “flag” safety on the top of thd bolt shroud. The mushroom cap shape of the bolt shroud also says Remington 700. The stock style is mid-‘90’s with the wedge fore-end tip and skip-line checkering. Winchesters have rounded fore-end tips and plain checkering.

Judging by the small bell size (32mm) and length of the scope, I’d say the scope is older than the rifle. Looks like an older Weaver or Bushnell 3-9x.

Good guns, but some had dangerous triggers that discharged when taking the safety off. You can tell if the trigger was serviced by Remington under the recall, it will have a punch mark on the bolt release button. I have personally observed one go off on its own.

Thanks to all those who actually added relevant info to the rifle in question. I went back to take a look at serial number to date rifle but owner didnt want to bring back out. Someone that day gave him a hard time trying to sell his rifle at the garage sale. In CO you have to go through a FFL dealer and background check even if you buy it at a garage sale. He didnt want to go through all the paperwork and stuff, he just wanted to sell it outright. So had to let it go and move on
