Gents,
For sale is a post-64 Model 70 that started life as a 243 Winchester and was rebored by JES to a .358 Winchester. I haven't fired it in its current form, but the rifling quality looks identical to previous jobs from JES (35 Whelen and 9.3x62; both shot very well with factory ammo.) Jesse did a decent enough job re-stamping (see photo). This was intended as a project rifle (was going to refinish the stock, add ebony, new red Pachmayr, etc.) but then I came into a Sako Finnbear in 9.3x62 and don't need both. The stock is solid but has hunting marks. No cracks or splits. The bluing is in mostly good shape but there is a rub spot on the top of the barrel where I'm guessing it leaned in a safe. The recoil pad is not perfectly fitted. The bolt still retains most of its jeweling. Action cycles smoothly and feeds perfectly. Trigger is very good. The front sight rail is permanently attached (by previous owner). Rear sight complete. Grip cap has Winchester logo. The rifle is not bedded. The rifle comes with the set of 1" Talley aluminum rings currently attached.
This was a project for me and it'll likely be a project for someone else, so I've got it priced accordingly. I.e., I'm not asking what I would for a finished rifle, though it's perfectly functional as is. Will ship from an individual (me) via SMG to your FFL. Will ship with insurance for full purchase price. Lower 48 only and no CA. (Alaska is possible but would require buyer to pay actual shipping costs.) Payment by Zelle, check, or USPSMO. Cross-listed. Please claim here and send PM. Will go by timestamp across platforms.
$675 shipped.
Thanks y'all.
