Winchester Model 70 .270 Win SN: 5136
'Pre-war' Bolt action rifle chambered in 270 Winchester, manufactured circa 1937. Features blued finish, extra fancy walnut stock by Bob Hooper, manual safety, hinged floorplate, 24" barrel with sight dovetails. Sights have been removed and dovetails filled with Williams (rear) and Lyman (front) blanks. Front sight ramp has been stippled. Buehler single piece scope base installed (no rings). Stock has traditional sporter styling with Monte Carlo cheek piece, steel grip cap, steel buttplate with spring loaded door and storage compartment, contrasting forend tip (appears rosewood), sling swivel studs, large area of fine point pattern checkering at wrist and forend. Bore is excellent. Bluing is 98% with some spots of discoloration on barrel and grip cap. Stock is excellent with a few dents on left side near action; there is a hard to see repair at top of comb near heel that appears to be a stock maker's repair of a knot hole or similar before final shaping of the wood occurred. Condition is NRA Excellent ***C&R Firearm*** [From the Jim Wilkinson Rifle Ranch Collection]
