Serial Number: 17056
Here we have an unmolested Winchester Model 71 Deluxe Rifle, complete with the factory sling and swivels, factory Redfield No. 70F peep sight, 98% factory blue on the barrel, 98% factory blue on the receiver, 95% factory blue on the lever, 90% factory blue on loading gate, and 95% wood NOT RESTORED, near perfect factory checkering and wood finish. The factory Deluxe wood on this ’71 the normal handling marks from the few times it was in the woods. 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, which came with sling swivels and sling, checkered wood, and a grip cap. This pre-war Deluxe M71, serial number 17056 made in 1940, 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, the original sling and swivels, and a factory correct Redfield peep sight, and is 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 at Hendershots. . The trigger is crisp, breaking at 4.25lbs. and the rifling is clean, sharp, and mirror shiny. When you look at the quality of the wood, checkering, figure compared to other guns being offered, along with high percentage of factory blue, correct sights, no pits, stains, or flaws, this is a better gun for the money. It would be hard to find a better Model 71 Deluxe with all these goodies and at this price. Thanks for looking.
