***"REDUCED from $8,000"***
Up for your consideration is a Winchester Model 70 Pre-64 in 98% condition. It is chamber in the practical and somewhat elusive .257 Roberts. I have included 15 very high quality photos for you to determine the condition for yourself. If you are qualified to purchase this gun and would like additional photos, please let me know. This is an expensive gun and you have every right to be picky. The purchaser is responsible for all packing, shipping and insurance cost. Since this is a true collector item, there is a 3 day visual only inspection allowed with no questions asked on the return, however you are responsible for shipping and insurance both ways and it must arrive in the same condition as sent. Please ask all questions before committing to purchase, so for that reason I am not listing this with a "Buy It Now". My preferred ways of contact are office, cell, email at 256-704-9400, 256-520-2855 or rpmoodyaol. Below are taken from the online appraisal I received from the selling FFL.

The stock has wrap-around checkering on the forend and pistol grip. The stock shows some light marks please see our pictures, there are no cracks or chip losses. The LOP measures 13 1/2” from the front of the trigger to the back of the checkered blued factory metal butt plate, rating in Excellent condition. The stock rates in Excellent overall condition.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains 98+% of its metal finish. This rifle looks to have been never shot outside of factory and was well taken care of in the interim. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are crisp. Overall, this rifle rates in Excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We have not fired this rifle.
Our Assessment: You are on an absolutely beautiful pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 Super Grade that has 98+% of its blued finish remaining. The stock has but a few tiny marks with no chips or cracks, the bore is bright with sharp rifling and no erosion. Super Grade rifles are given extra attention during finishing, with a finely checkered fancy walnut stock that has an ebony forend cap and a blued steel pistol grip cap. This rifle looks to have spent most of its life in proper storage and will most likely end up with a collector, however it would be difficult to own and not shoot this vintage beauty, which is chambered in .257 ROBERTS.
