While the Model 70 was designed and intended for iron sights in 1936, that was 82 years and (at least) two generations ago.
The post-64 version of the gun was still equipped with irons, but the stock cut is obviously intended for a scope.
The post-92 or Classic is where the irons start fading from the catalog.
At present, the only non-magnum, non-large bore Model 70 you can get from the factory with irons is the .30-06 Alaskan, and you will be paying a premium over the base model of $400 for it too.
Winchester doesn't even admit to having iron sights on their "past-products" Model 70 page. Not even the special commemorative Centennial and Jack O'Connor versions.
