Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle in 25-35 WCF

Manufactured in 1937 (receiver). The rifle is chambered in 25-35 WCF, a caliber reported as a non-standard chambering for the Model 70. According to Model 70 expert and author Dean Whitaker, reported non-standard chamberings such as 25-35 WCF are believed to have been "for experimental purposes or to special order" with "very few" sold to the public. Hooded ramp front sight and filler block in the rear sight dovetail slot on a barrel marked with the Winchester legend on the left side and two line address on the right side. The receiver is tapped for scope mounting at the front and fitted with a Lyman sight (stock inletted). Winchester factory style oval proof stamped on the left side of the barrel and receiver at the breech. Pre-war safety, polished bolt numbered to gun, cloverleaf receiver tang and sling swivels. The straight comb pistol grip stock features checkering and a checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine as professionally refurbished/restored. The rifle retains nearly all of the blue finish showing the slightest handling marks. The stock is very good with a small hairline crack near the receiver and buttplate tangs and a few light handling marks with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
