Description
This rifle is truly immaculate & would pass for a new gun!
According to the original owner who retired from shooting & planned to use this for the occasional hunt this rifle has fired barely 60 rounds & looking at it, we believe him.
The Model 70 ‘Sporter’ was replaced with the ‘Featherlite’ which also features the Mauser action Pre-’64 style controlled feed & 3 position safety.
Working the action we were amazed at the smoothness & at first believed it had been worked on by a gunsmith as you can turn down the bolt with your little finger! We showed it to the Winchester rep who said it was just the quality workmanship of Winchester, as these are made for the serious hunter.
To replace this 10 year old rifle with an equivalent new Model 70 Featherweight now would cost no less than $2,500.
The beautiful walnut Monte Carlo stock has quality checkering, the blueing is impeccable & it comes with quality bases & turn in rings.
The photos say it all so make your decision based on what you see as they form the main description & override all written information so ask for more if desired.
It really is as good as it looks & would suit a new gun buyer wanting a quality deer rifle.
As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting.
