Are pre-1964 quarters worth more than post-1964 quarters because of the silver content used?

Absolutely. Any silver coin (dime, quarter, half, dollar) dated 1964 or earlier will be worth several times its face value simply because the price of silver is much higher today. Circulation issues of those denominations dated 1965 or later are made of base metals (copper-nickel or manganese brass) so they're only worth face value.
Of course, it's also important to check whether an old silver coin is worth even more as a collectible than for its silver content. For example quarters from the 1950s to 1964 are relatively common and only worth their metal value, but if you had, say, a 1932-D ...

What is the difference between a pre1964 action and a post1964 action on a Winchester model 70 rifle?
The biggest difference is that Winchester went from a controlled round feed(Mauser type) to a push pull feed(with out the mauser claw)type of feed action.this was done to cut the cost of production.This system is still in use today,but over time Winchester and other gun manufacturers have learned that there is still a great demand for the original controlled round feed of the mauser design.Especially with dangerous game chambered firearms.
How much are pre1964 coins worth?
You have 8 mints and 170 years worth of coins to pick from, so that's a wildly broad question. Pennies and nickels back to the 1940s are pretty much worth face value to a few cents more, assuming you found them in change. Dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars are worth at least 10 times face value just for their silver content. However, some can be worth much more as collectibles. You need to know the coins' specific dates and mint marks to be able to tell. The two sites linked below can be a big help. CoinFacts shows the location of mint marks for almost every U.S. coin ever made. Numismedia FMV lists the fair market value of U.S. coins by date, condition, and mint mark.
