This is the RARE little known Winchester Model 70 Classic Custom "African Express". (not to be confused with their lesser model Safari Express) This was Winchester's attempt to duplicate the Classic English Design, at an affordable price. They succeeded. The African Express model was introduced in the late 1990s through the Winchester Custom Shop, and discontinued within only a few years. Most of the orders for this model came at Safari Club Shows.
specs:
9 lbs 10 oz wo/ scope - 10 lbs 8 oz w/ scope - "24" Bbl - English Walnut Stock - Ebony Grip Cap & Forearm Tip - Extended Drop-box Magazine & “Oberndorf”-style Floorplate- Full-length glass bedded Action - Hand-Lapped Krieger® Match-grade Bbl w/ Precision Match-grade Crown - 1.5x5 Leoplod Vari-X III w/ QD Talley Lever Rings & Bases - 4-shot mag capacity - 1-3/8" Kick-Eez® Recoil Pad - All Factory "Custom Shop Ordered" at time of purchase - ordered Aug 2000, Received Sept 2001.
This one is chambered in 416 Remington Mag, and falls nicely midway between 375 H&H, and 458 Win Mag.
The first picture shows original advertisements. Note the selling price - "without a scope". Later sales of this model have brought over $7,000. The subsequent pictures show the rifle. It comes with a Leopold 1-1/2-5x scope on QD Talley lever-rings. The rifle is test fired only (see pic) and never hunted. Wood and Metal are 99+% "as new" condition. According to the Winchester Custom Shop, the customer could specify recoil pad, scope and mounts at the time of ordering. This one was ordered with the Leipokd scope, with QD mounts, with Kick-Eez® Recoil Pad.
$4,750 plus shipping and insurance. It needs a good new home.
