If there was 1200 made , how many are unfired. I usually shoot everything but in this instance No Way. That is big time prime gun. It is remarkable that you have such a fine and desirable Winchester in the condition you have. I crave the African model 70. I was at the Cody museum last year and they have one not as nice as yours. Only if you never plan on selling it I still would be reluctant to fire it. It's just to nice. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. By the way, what would you sell such a gun for. I love it.
