Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle in 9 mm

Manufactured in 1940 (receiver). It is chambered in 9 mm or 9 x 57 Mauser. Although the 9 mm Model 70 rifle was introduced in 1937 and offered until 1963, this caliber was part of a limited production run. Today the 9 mm is one of the rarest variations of the pre-64 Model 70 rifle offered on today's collector market. Hooded ramp front sight and elevation adjustable rear sight on a barrel marked with the Winchester legend on the left side and the two line address on the right. The Winchester factory proof is stamped on the left side of the barrel and receiver at the breech. Receiver tapped for scope mounting at the front and sight mounting on the left rear side, cloverleaf receiver tang, pre-war safety and sling swivels. The checkered pistol grip stock is fitted with a checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine as professionally refurbished/restored. The rifle retains nearly all of the blue finish showing some muzzle wear. The stock is near mint with the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
