Because in the year 1964 Winchester decided to re vamp their manufacturing process of rifles and shotguns to reduce costs associated with the production of their firearms.Hence the quality dropped also.The more labor intensive hand finishing and fitting of their rifles and shotguns were eliminated,along with the traditional mauser bolts for their rifles.The push feed type of bolt was now used on model 70 rifles.More stamped parts were used instead of forged parts for the lever action rifle,s also.More models were dropped during this time and not replaced due to costs associated with production.
