Description
This is a Winchester Model 70 Black Shadow bolt action rifle chambered in .300 Win Mag, configured for long-range sporting and hunting applications. The rifle features a 25.5-inch blued steel barrel and a receiver mounted with a Simmons Pro 50 2.5-10x50mm variable power optic (Model 8830, manufactured in the Philippines) on two-piece bases. The metalwork is set into a black synthetic stock featuring textured grip panels, a molded “W” logo on the forend, and a factory Winchester-branded rubber recoil pad. The bolt is notable for its jeweled finish and knurled handle. Significant markings include the barrel roll-stamp “WINCHESTER ® MODEL 70 300 WIN. MAG. — MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A.” and the receiver markings “WINCHESTER —TRADE MARK—” on the left side with serial number G2241339 on the right. The rifle is fitted with a padded black Butler Creek sling. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The rifle presents in good used condition. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver remains largely intact with light thinning on the bolt handle and trigger guard consistent with field use. The synthetic stock shows several superficial scuffs and light white marks, primarily on the buttstock and forend. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The bolt action functions smoothly, and the jeweled finish on the bolt body remains attractive. The Simmons optic features clear glass and a duplex reticle. The Butler Creek sling and hardware are in good, functional order.
