All: Anyone interested in a MINT, first year (dolls head), pre-64, Winchester Model 88 in 243 Winchester caliber - my local gunshop got one in on consignment last week.
This full size Model 88 is MINT!
I have been trying to justify adding it to my collection but I am "late in life"!
The Rifle does have a period correct quality scope mounted on it and I could find NO blemish in the wood, bluing, crown, checkering - nothing!
The only puzzling wear is the Winchester magazine does have noticeable wear loss on the bottoms blued finish (replacement?).
The asking price is $1,500.00 (no sales tax in Montana).
The shops phone number is 406-683-9844 - Tuesday through Saturday 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Let me know if I can answer any questions regarding this consigned (I do not know the consignee) Rifle.
Hold into the wind

Tempting! The stock have any figure? Only downside is I heard from a very experienced 'smith that the lever linkage was much improved after the first few years of production.
