Winchester Pre-64 M70 by McKenna & Baughman .270 Win, ROGER RULE COLLECTION* - 99%
Description: SOLD ** Winchester Pre-64 M70 by McKenna & Baughman - .270 Win. – 99% Roger Rule Collection* Description: McKenna & Baughman gunmakers (Chalfont, Pennsylvania since 1984), built this rifle with a Winchester pre-64 Model 70 action as a base. Morris Hallowell, who I have known and traded with for more than 20 years, turned me on to this magnificent custom rifle. After examining it, I couldn’t have been impressed more and immediately added it to my collection of custom pre-64 Model 70s.* Both metal work and stock work are top drawer. For the action, the maker honed the rails, jeweled the bolt and magazine follower, added a Grisel one-piece steel straddle-hinged floorplate with a center-bow release, a Canjar serrated trigger, and a 23” tapered round Douglas Supreme barrel. Their masterful metal work included sculpturing the rear tang, building up and checkering the bolt stop, engraving the bolt knob with 5 panels, and then rust-bluing all the metal parts. For the woodwork, the gunmaker chose a special select piece of English walnut with rich color and marbled figure. They selected a classic layout for scope use with preferred open grip, a sculptured cheekpiece with shadowline, an ebony forend tip, and they inletted the very-unusual-but-neat Tucker QD (concealed) sling swivels. They finished the stock with fine borderless wrap-around ribbon and fleur-de-lys checkering – executed second to none, with the perfect final touch of a fine-rubbed French-polished oil finish. For the pistol grip, they added a skeleton cap with checkered center and borders around the inlay; and for the butt, they added an Old English black recoil pad (keeping to the classic style). The scope is a Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40 matte-finish with duplex reticle mounted with Leonard Brownell’s rings made for Warren bases, for consistent accuracy from shot to shot and from hunt to hunt. LOP is 14 1/8” Weight with scope, 9 lbs. Condition: 99% blue, perfect bore, overall – near mint. Price is $6,775, shipping $35 to any of the lower 48 states. Buyer must furnish current FFL copy for shipping. Buyer has 3-day full refund non-firing return privilege. Payment by money order, certified check or personal check with delay for validation.

For this auxiliary collection, I chose custom rifles that were only built with renowned Winchester pre-64 Model 70 actions and made only by best makers. The work of many of these makers numbered so few that their names were never developed to the heights that equaled their talent and quality of craftsmanship. One of the more notable ones in my collection is the rifle built by Don Allen before he founded Dakota Arms with Pete Griesel.
