SALE PENDING
Description:
***SOLD*** Absolutely stunning example of the highly coveted Pre 64 Winchester Model 70 Super Grade bolt action rifle in .257 Roberts. S/N 100724 with matching scribed bolt made in 1948.
This beautiful rifle has it all:
Highest quality Super Grade style with all correct and original features and components including the detachable swivels, Redfield front sight, etc., scarce 1948 transition style and one of the last few produced with a Pre War type clover leaf tang, along with being chambered in a very scarce and all time great caliber; the practically non-recoiling but stellar performing .257 Roberts. All of this combined with its nearly mint and untouched condition both inside and out!
99% original finishes with bright Blue and Varnish showing only insignificant marks of any kind. The wood is truly beautiful.
This particular rifle is exactly as issued with the factory option Lyman 48 WJS receiver sight as clearly evidenced by the lack of any elevator skid mark from an alternate 22g sporting rear sight, along with a correct and rare Lyman 12S filler plug in the barrel dovetail. There is a verified small flat bottomed factory cut wood inlet hidden behind the sight base, which was needed to create clearance for this sight's vertical elevation screw. The component #s all match on the receiver sight and all functions, clicks, etc. are as crisp as new.
The standard weight barrel is 24" long. The bore and mechanical functions are also like new.
A truly great rifle worthy of the most stringent collection.
Please add $100 for expedited and fully insured shipping from Alaska.
