Default Model 70 Super Grade vs Sporter
Was just looking at the Winchester website and noticed the specs show the Super Grade is a full pound heavier than the Sporter in the standard long action?

Anyone know why there is such a difference? Barrel lengths are the same?

I think they have a larger barrel diameter.

I don't think so.

Super grades have steel bottom metal and perhaps a bit more in the sling swivels. Other than that maybe the forend cap weighs more or the stock has a bit more wood in it.
