Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle in 30 WCF

Manufactured in 1940 (receiver). The rifle is chambered in 30 WCF. According to Model 70 expert and author Dean Whitaker, 30 WCF chambered Model 70s are non-standard (chambered for experimental purposes or to special order) and very few were sold to the public, but at the time of writing, THE MODEL 70 WINCHESTER 1937-1964 book., Whitaker had been unable to confirm 30 WCF chambered pre-64 Model 70s. Hooded ramp front sight and elevation adjustable rear sight on a barrel with the Winchester legend stamped on the left side and the two line address stamped on the right side. A Winchester style factory oval proof is stamped on the barrel and receiver at the breech on the left side. Polished bolt numbered to the gun, pre-war safety, sling swivels, cloverleaf receiver tang and receiver tapped for scope mounting at the front and sight mounting on the left rear side. Checkered straight comb pistol grip stock with checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine as professionally refurbished/restored. The rifle retains 99% of the blue finish showing limited minor high edge wear and the bolt knob thinning to a gray. The stock is also very fine showing a couple minor pressure dents and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
