I have a Sears Model 53, a post-64 Winchester Model 70 in Sears garb. I got it from a shooting buddy who is 92 and doesn't shoot anymore. He bought it used sometime in the 1960s. It shoots great. I took it to Colorado last November on an elk hunt. No elk, but I knew the rifle would do the job. I had one of those Model 50s and never shot it. I guess I should have.... It became a 35 Whelen.
