Unmatched Features and Specifications

This rifle is a marvel of engineering and design. Its receiver and bolt bear the serial number 369942, marking it as a 1956 manufacturing date. The rifle boasts original Winchester finishes, with the bluing in very good condition, showing only general thinning and edge wear. The 24" barrel rates a 9 out of 10, with no throat wear but some scattered light pitting. The low-comb stock retains its original finish, displaying honest wear and handling marks, with clean and crisp checkering. This rifle is a perfect blend of historical significance and exceptional craftsmanship.

Why Choose This Special Order Rifle?

Owning this special order rifle is not just about owning a firearm; it's about owning a piece of history. The .358 Winchester cartridge's introduction in 1955 and its subsequent inclusion in the Model 70 Featherweight rifle, albeit with a low-comb stock, created a niche that this special order rifle fulfills. With only 2,000 cataloged Featherweight Model 70 .358 Win rifles produced, this special order rifle stands out as a unique offering. Its authenticity is guaranteed, with all parts being Winchester factory parts and no evidence of tampering or modification. This rifle is not just a weapon; it's a statement of your appreciation for the artistry and history of firearms.
