Winchester Model 88 Lever Action Rifle 308 Win 1955 1st Yr Production

1955 Winchester 88 (serial # 5089) in the versatile and desirable 308 Winchester,
having the early clover leaf tang, with 22" barrel and a shiny bore.

The bluing and wood remain in very good condition for a 69 year old rifle.

No cracks and bluing is about 90%..1st Year of Production too !!!

This would make for an excellent carry all day, fast handling, deer, bear or hog rifle.
Already has a full length rail mounted so all you need is rings and a scope.

Winchester advertisements in 1955 for the new Model 88 described it as the bolt-
action rifle with a lever. It was a play on three rotating locking lugs at the front of the
bolt that engaged shoulders machined into the steel receiver.
The front-locking design virtually eliminated momentary bolt compression and
receiver stretch during firing, as rear-locking actions made by Winchester, Marlin
and Savage experienced.
