Winchester never offered any detachable mount of their own, to my knowledge, and I think its absurd to say the G&H twin lever side mount reduces the value of a Model 70, especially since Winchester custom shop offered it. It is very functional, and adds a certain panache to a model 70. While the Super Grade stock was dressy for Winchester, it can't hold a candle to the G&H stocked guns.
I wish I still had the G&H built 7mm Mauser built on the '03 receiver. The John Warren engraving of bolt cocking piece, receiver ring tops and muzzle were the frosting on the cake, But I suppose the diehard Model 70 people would have found something to pick on.
