Description:
This is one of the highly renowned and revered Winchester custom built rifle for Dr. Russel Smith. Winchester built several special order Winchester model 70's for Dr. Smith and this is one of them. A well known gun that is in the "Riflemans Rifle" by Rule photoed on page 274-275. Mr. Rule states "A Class special order. A custom grade. Fancy carvings, a special select stock and jeweled action. Serial number 87160 300 H&H magnum." More info under the photos by Mr. Rule. Just looking at this gun, it is stunning. Also photoed in "The Model 70 Winchester 1937-1964" by Dean H. Whitaker on pg 103. Beautiful dlx fiddle back wood with the Winchester Custom shop engraving. Gold trigger and gold lettering on the trigger guard. "Super Grade" stamped on the floor plate. Special checkered bolt handle. Jeweled bolt. This whole rifle exudes quality. I don't believe this gun has ever been fired. Early classical Basch & Lomb scope and mounts are on this fine rifle. This is a very special rifle built by Winchester!
