Winchester - Model 70 XTR Sporter - .300 Weatherby Mag
A 1987 Winchester Model 70 XTR Sporter bolt action rifle, made in New Haven, Connecticut. Chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum, a flat shooting, hard hitting round for elk, moose, and long range western hunting. Serial number G1842096.
Action and metal: Model 70 bolt action with a jeweled bolt body and a three position safety. Blued receiver, barrel, and floorplate.
Barrel: Sporter weight barrel without iron sights, built for scope use.
Sights and optics: Simmons Wide Angle 4x to 10x scope mounted in blued rings on Redfield bases.
Stock and forend: Walnut stock with a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece. Cut checkering on the pistol grip and forend in a point pattern. Recoil pad with black spacer. Sling swivel studs.
XTR features: The XTR was Winchester's upgraded finish line of the 1980s, with better polished bluing and finer wood finish than the standard Model 70.
Condition: Very good to excellent. Bluing is bright and even with no visible rust or holster wear. The wood is clean with crisp checkering and only light handling marks. The scope and rings show minor surface marks.
The .300 Weatherby is not a common chambering in the Model 70, which makes this a good find for the hunter who wants Weatherby performance in a classic Winchester.
