Description:
Winchester Model 71, .348 WINCHESTER DELUXE RIFLE
99% FACTORY BLUE, UNTOUCHED!
General Specs: Winchester, Year 1953, .348 Winchester, 8lbs 2oz, Lever action rifle
Serial Number: 37047
Here we have an unmolested Winchester Model 71 Deluxe Rifle, Winchester 22K rear sight, 99% factory blue on the barrel, 99% factory blue on the receiver, 99% factory blue on the lever, 95% factory blue on loading gate, and 97% wood NOT RESTORED, near perfect factory checkering and just a few field marks. The Model 71 was basically a continuation of the Model 1886, with the same action, but the addition of the pistol grip butt stock and beavertail style forend. Manufactured from 1935 until 1958, the Model 71 was produced in .348 Winchester caliber only. There were few Deluxe Rifles made, and this one, serial number 37047 made in 1953, is a great example of a 71 Deluxe as it is unmolested in any way and comes complete with perfect mechanics, perfect bore and rifling, a rarely fired vintage Winchester Deluxe rifle. The Winchester .348 is a great mid-range caliber, shooting a 200 grain slug at a velocity of around 2500 fps. for plenty of brush bucking stopping power. The ammunition is still available on the internet. The trigger is crisp breaking at 4lbs. and the rifling is clean, sharp, and mirror shiny. When you look at the high percentage of factory blue, correct sights, no pits, stains, or flaws, this is a better gun for the money than others offered for sale at this time. It would be hard to find a better Model 71 Deluxe at this price. Thanks for looking.
