Winchester Model 71 Deluxe .348 WCF Lever Action Rifle, Made 1951
Description:
The Winchester Model 71 is considered by many lever action fans to be the best lever action rifle ever made. The 71 was introduced in 1935 as an upgraded Model 1886. At the time it was introduced, newer, small bore high velocity cartridges were all the rage. Winchester realized this could not be effectively done with the .45-70 with the powders then available. Instead, Winchester necked down the cartridge. However, since the .338 and .358 calibers already existed in the form of the .33 and .35 WCF cartridges, Winchester instead chose a unique bullet diameter for the new cartridge. This decision resulted in the .348 Winchester Center Fire. The new round was a magnum in everything but name – a feat made possible by the 71’s strong action. It has been used successfully to take all types of heavy game in North America. However, the .348’s odd bullet diameter has always prevented it from gaining widespread popularity. Fortunately, Hornady still produces the .348 Winchester using the excellent FTX (a.k.a. The LeverRevolution) bullet. Cases and bullets are still available for the .348 as well, enabling reloaders to make their own loads. The Model 71 was produced between 1935 and 1957 for a total of 47,254 rifles – the lowest production figures of any Winchester lever rifle. Although it was only produced in .348 WCF caliber by the factory, many Model 71 rifles have been converted to fire either the .45-70 or wildcat cartridges based on the .348 case, most famously the .450 Alaskan and .50 Alaskan, both of which are famous for their takedown power against the heaviest North American game. Most Model 71 rifles found their way to Alaska, so it is unusual to see one down here in the bottom of the lower 48. The 71 shown here has some wear, but remains in great shape. Finish-wise, the bottom of the receiver and the lever are the most affected parts, which is not surprising. There are some small rust spots present but they are minor. The fore end has a minor crack in it on the right-hand side, and a smaller one on the left. The latter is less evident as there is not much visual separation in the wood. Neither crack presents a serious structural issue at this time. Curiously, a screw was installed in the wrist of the stock. The reason for this is unknown. The finish of the stock is worn with splotches on the surface. The rifle’s action is tight even all these years later. Given that the rifle was produced around 1951 the high quality of manufacture is evident. The bore is in superb shape. This 71 would be an excellent shooter.
