Description: This is a very fine Winchester Model 70 Super Grade African in .458 Winchester Magnum. It is all factory original including the Super Grade sling swivels (sling added). This gun was made in 1956 which was the first year a Model 70 was offered in .458 Winchester Magnum. Only 1226 were made between 1956 and 1963. The only metal finish wear apparent is on the top of the safety and the bolt handle, probably from being slid in and out of cases. Wood is as you see it in the pictures with few surface dents or dings. A hairline fracture was discovered at the rear of the trigger guard. Since a crack could be seen extending forward through the action inletting in the stock with the action removed, both were professionally repaired from the inside. The rear of the trigger guard wood was also appropriately relieved. It was not uncommon for these cracks to appear in the earlier guns, especially before a rear cross bolt stud was added.

If you are not aware, when you click on an individual picture, there are forward and back arrows in the upper left corner. If you click the icon between the arrows, you will get a great enlargement. We suggest viewing pictures on a full-size computer to take advantage of this feature.
