Your Sears model 53 rifle is indeed a Winchester model 70 rifle.These were fine made rifles that would be very good to hunt with!I am not sure what years winchester made these rifles for Sears though.
1960's, Winchester 70 (Sears model 53) of the Ted Williams promotion series 30-06 for Sears. NOTE: Every one on the net incorrectly identify 273-1830 as serial number, but actually is a "lot number" that identifies this series as T.W., and that the actual serial number is hand scribed on the bolt and stamped on the right side of the barrel, at the larger ring portion, at the bullet base, such as; 106xx, early model. The Ted Williams version was made with better and darker wood with excellent finish, compared to the other pale woods. Exact type of woods, I can not recollect as to what they are.
WILLIAMS HAS( OLD )SIDE MOUNTS FOR THESE GUNS.
