Click on images for enlarged versions.

serial #246995, 375 H&H, 25" barrel with an excellent bore. Metal surfaces retain about 98% original blue. The checkered walnut super grade style Monte Carlo stock rates about excellent with a few minor dings and handling marks, and features typical super grade embellishments with contrasting forend tip, steel gripcap and recessed blued steel swivel bases. Gun wears a factory Winchester pad. Sadly the stock appears as though it were shot with the guard screws loose; there is a very small crack ahead of the front guard screw and to the rear of the rear guard screw as well as to the rear of the top tang. The cracks appear tight and will not flex however it is likely the bedding will require attention. Front sight ramp features a Lyman ivory bead, rear sight is a Winchester 70B rollover express. Still this is an excellent super grade in a very desirable caliber. Manufactured 1953. (2027-85) {C&R} [Stan Terhune Collection] (2000/4000) SOLD FOR $3737.50
