This is a post-64 Target rifle chambered in .30-06 and is in excellent condition. The receiver is marked with serial number G1001050.
This is a special adaptation target model, introduced in 1972 with refinements over the regular target style rifle, incorporating the sophisticated mechanical elements of the international army match rifle with the conventional marksman stock.
These rifles were built in the Winchester custom shop and are extremely rare, with factory features including:
- Externally adjustable trigger
- Adjustable firing pin stop screw
- Receiver equipped with stripper clip slot
- 26" deeply-counterbored medium-heavy barrel
- Factory-Acraglass bedding of the action and chamber section of the barrel
- A hard black rubber buttplate
This rifle is fitted with Redfield International Match receiver sight and front globe sight, as well as the factory scope blocks.
There is a complete discussion of these rifles in Roger Rule's book on pages 323 and 325.
The bore has no notable pitting and very little wear. There's a small amount of heat damage. It rates an 8 out of 10. Boroscope verified.
The original stock finish is smooth and even with a few tiny nicks, but no cracks, splits, or repairs. The stock retains its factory hard black rubber buttplate, with no noted modifications.
The metal is in excellent condition, with no notable dings or gouges. The bluing is dark and even showing only minor wear in a few spots.
The jeweled bolt is correct and serial number matched to the receiver. The rifle appears 100% original with no modifications.
