Pre 64 Winchester Model 70 458 African. First year gun, rare and fine!

Description:
A first year gun, and a stellar example of the ultra scarce Model 70 .458 Winchester African. Only 1226 ever produced!
S/N 369602 with matching scribed bolt made in 1956.
98%+ Blue and Varnish with only minor marks of any kind.
25" barrel with an excellent bore, along with flawless mechanical functions.
Factory issued single reinforcing crossbolt through stock.
Besides the factory crossbolt(s) of 3 potential styles, these rifles differed from all other 70s by having somewhat elaborate machined rear sights, and a uniquely positioned barrel mounted front swivel.
While not technically cataloged as such, these "Africans" were for all practical purposes Super Grades, and are adorned with those special features such as deluxe grade stocks with elevated cheek rest, Super Grade stamped floorplates, action jeweling, rust blued barrels, robust detachable swivels, etc.
This fine and unique rifle represents less than 1/4 of 1% of all Pre 64 70 production and good ones can be very hard to come by! Of the few made, many were taken to Africa and have certainly seen better days. This one remains virtually unscathed and in premiere shape.
Please add $100 for expedited and fully insured shipping from Alaska.

SOLD
