Payment Types Accepted: Visa,Master Card, Discover,Check Description: This is an honest all-original pre-64 Winchester Model 70 chambered in .270 Winchester complete with a vintage Kahles 3-9x42 scope on Redfield mounts. This particular rifle is serial number 144879 and was made in 1950. The pre-64 Winchester Model 70's are considered one of the finest American-made rifles of all-time, and are sought-after by collectors and shooters alike today. Introduced by Winchester in 1937, the Model 70 was offered in 18 calibers and three barrel lengths of 24", 25", or 26" inches, with a 5 or 4-shot (magnum calibers) internal box magazine in a checkered Walnut pistol-grip stock. The Model 70 action was based off of the 98 Mauser action and featured controlled-round feeding and a full-length extractor, an extremely strong, accurate, and reliable design.  Advertised by Winchester as "The Rifleman's Rifle", the Model 70 quickly earned a reputation for being THE top-of-the-line bolt-action repeating rifle. This .270 Winchester example retains the original factory blue finish but has developed a nice weathered patina. The gloss blue on the barrel has developed a patina over time, and shows various signs of handling and finish wear along the entirety of the barrel and muzzle. The matte blue factory finish on the receiver and bolt handle is intact and has a nice consistent clean look to it for its age, with the only noticable wear on the bolt handle knob and receiver high edges. The gloss blue factory finish on the triggerguard and floorplate still looks good as well, with the vast majority of finish wear occuring on the edges of the parts, with the flat areas show only slight discoloration.  As you can see in the pictures provided, all of the factory blued parts go together great with a matching patina that is consistent across the board. The bore in this Model 70 is bright,with sharp rifling, and shows no signs of imperfections or mishandling. The factory original stock on this rifle is in great shape overall, free from any cracks, chips, or repairs. The hand-cut checkering is still nicely defined and clean, without any major wear or damage. The factory-installed sling swivels are still in place on this Winchester and in good condition. All of the controls and functions on this Winchester are in perfect working order. The action is smooth and precise, turning into battery with no wiggle or slop. The trigger on this Model 70 is excellent, breaking like a glass rod with a medium-light pull with no grit or excessive travel.  As mentioned before, this rifle comes with a vintage Kahles 3-9x42 scope already mounted up on it in vintage Redfield mounts.  The Kahles scope shows some dings and handling marks in the exterior gloss black finish, but has perfect optics which are bright and clear for a scope of this age. This model scope has a fine crosshair reticle and both the windage and elevation adjustments are in great working order. If you have been looking for a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 for your collection this 1950 vintage model would be a great choice. This is a true American classic packed with tons of character, and could be carried with pride into any hunting camp in the world.                  PRICE:  SOLD    We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974.    PH. 859-276-1419     We Buy, Sell and Trade Firearms & Knives.    Have a Individual Firearm,  Firearms Collection, or Firearms Estate to sell, let us know, we can buy or consignment sell it for you.
