Description:
These rifles were built in the Winchester custom shop. There were actually 3 different Palma Match Model 70’s produced by Winchester. The first year was 1968, then 1971, with the last year being 1976. The Palma matches were held in different countries every year and the host nation supplied the rifles. The 1968, 71, and 76 matches were held in the U.S. and there were 6 countries competing, including the U.S. , Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. These rifles were made just for the competitors. The rifles were sent directly to Camp Perry for the competition. They were handed out to competitors the opening day of the match along with Winchester 7.62 match (308 win) ammunition loaded specifically for these “Ultra Match” rifles. The rifles all started out as “Ultra Match” barreled actions and were completely assembled in the Winchester custom shop, with the addition of Bisonite bedding under the receivers. Competitors could purchase their rifles after the conclusion of match, or, if the competitor declined, they were returned to Winchester where they were later sold. There were very few of these produced. There were 65 of these rifles built. After the match 22 of the rifles went to Europe, 22 of the rifles went to Canada, and 21 of the rifles stayed in the United States. This Rifle is in Excellent Condition. It has a 26" barrel with a 1:12 twist. This is a great opportunity to get a Rare Winchester Target Rifle.
