Yes condition? I'm guessing that at that price it's been around the block a time or two. If it looks remotely factory $750 is steel.

I looked at that gun yesterday, it was drilled and tapped on the side of the receiver for a scope side mount, also drilled and tapped on rear bridge with scope mounted on it. But the bolt looked unmolested and it had the transitional safety. I wish I didn't see that gun, can't stop thinking about it.

The model 54 is quite intriguing, just don't know much about them. I've seen some for cheap at gunshows, but that's about the extent of it...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Winchester 54's have a safety that is a copy of the 98 Mauser, a transitional safety has the wing lever that looks kinda like a traditional win. model 70 lever but not. I think transitional safety's you push forward to put on safe, and the current model 70 safety's you pull back to put on safe. I hope I got that right.
