**SOLD*1995-98 Vintage Winchester Model 70 Classic Sporter w/ Factory BOSS System in .300 Win. Magnum
** Exceptionally Clean U.S.A.-Made Example **
Description: **SOLD** This is a beautiful and minty 1995-98 production Winchester Model 70 Classic Sporter with the factory BOSS barrel tuning system chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. This Model 70 Classic Sporter was manufactured at the New Haven plant in the United States before production was moved overseas and the general consensus was production quality went down as a result. Bought new by the original owner, he mounted up a high quality scope on the rifle and bore sighted it, then put it into safe storage until now. It has not been fired since being test fired at the factory! The Model 70 Classic Sporter featured all of the sought-after features of the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70's including the Mauser-style claw extractor as well as the controlled-round feeding system. These rifles quickly earned a reputation for being the very best modern-production, non-custom, mass-produced rifles made by Winchester. Using the adjective mass-produced is a little misleading as there were not very many of these made in total, and the BOSS system was only offered for less than 4 years between 1995 and 1998. This example is serial number G112328 and has a matte blue factory finish, a 24" inch barrel with the BOSS system, a factory polished and jeweled bolt, a bolt-mounted 3-position safety, a 4 or 5 round internal box magazine, a hinged floorplate, a factory-tuned single-stage trigger, and a black polymer pistol-grip style stock set with a factory Winchester-branded recoil pad. The length of pull is just under 14" inches to the end of the pad. The original finish on this rifle is in superb condition rating 99%. The only deductions we can find are only visible under extremely close inspection and consist of a couple TINY little handling marks. It is actually a bit of a stretch to even take a full percentage of deductions. The black painted finish on the alloy triggerguard is perfect with zero deductions. All of the factory markings on this rifle are crisp, clean, and look brand new. The polished and factory jeweled bolt is extremely bright and clean with no visible staining or pits, with only the slightest runner marks visible on places of the bolt from the action being opened and closed. As you would imagine, the top of the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases but are missing the factory plug screws. The factory stock on this Winchester Model 70 Classic is like-new and in superb condition. The polymer is uniform in color and condition, the factory recoil pad was perfectly fit, and all of the stock hardware is in excellent condition. The action on this Winchester is still just like-new which is very slick but still tight and precise. The bolt turns into battery with the barrel very smoothly and the lock-up is perfect. All of the controls on this Model 70 work 100% like-new. Chambered in the very powerful, accurate, and flat-shooting .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, this Model 70 Classic is powerful enough to take any big and dangerous game in the United States as well as just about any big game walking the earth. In addition to being a superb hunting cartridge, the .300 Win Mag is an excellent long-range option for precision shooting. The factory BOSS system not only gives this rifle the ability to harmonically tune the barrel for your specific load for better accuracy, but reduces the felt recoil to an amazing degree. If the new owner plans to use the rifle for hunting, it would probably be a good idea to locate a non-ported upper section of the BOSS that screws on in place of the ported section otherwise wear hearing protection! These can be found easily online. Shoot this one time the way it is currently set-up without hearing protection and you will see what I mean, these BOSS system rifles are SUPER LOUD! All this rifle needs is some ammo, a good set of bases, and a good scope and it will ready for the woods or range. Due to the limited production of these American-made pre-64 style Winchester Model 70 Classic Sporters it should also be an excellent long-term investment if well cared-for. For all intents and purposes this is a brand-new rifle despite being manufactured over 24 years ago. It has not even begun to be "broken-in" yet.
