If you think that my price is out of line, please make an offer. I don't have much room for negotiation, but I will work with you if I can. Please keep checking my items and I will try to add regularly to my listings. I hope to find good homes for these items that are special to me.

Description:
Pre-War Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle chambered in .270 W.C.F. with Lyman Alaskan 2.5X Scope with a Post-Crosshair. This one was made in 1938, making it 88 years old. I purchased this one in 1998 from the 80 year old original owner. There have been several Trophy Bucks taken by this .270. Even though the rifle has been carried and used, it functions perfectly. It is accurate, with a bright bore and strong riflings. It has been hunted several seasons in a scabbard from a horse and the stock shows lots of small scratches but no cracks on gouges. The stock has never been altered and retains the original Winchester checkered steel buttplate. This stock would be an excellent cantidate for a refinish/ restoration if you wanted to go that way. The metal shows wear that is consistent with the stock but retains lots of the original soft rust bluing that pre-war model 70s are known for. The bolt is in excellent shape and is numbered to the receiver.
The original Lyman Alaskan scope is bright and clear and I love the Post- Crosshair reticle. The rear receiver has had one hole drilled and tapped professionally to accept the scope mount.
This is one of those Vintage Rifles that served its loving owner well for many years. He told me that before Deer season, he would shoot 3 shots at a target to make sure that it was "on". He told me that when he took it hunting, one shot was all that it required. I thought I saw him wink a little on that last one. This rifle has a lot of life left and would be a great deer rifle for many years to come. It is not the new, space age carbon fiber whizbang in 6.5 Thumb licker, it is just a classic, vintage hunting rifle from a time gone by. Sometimes we like to relive that feeling when we hunt.
Please look over the photos carefully. I have endeavored to take accurate photos that depict the actual condition of the item. Please contact me with any questions, Thank you for looking!
