Bumpity bump to the top for the coffee crowd. This is a nice carrying rifle in a cool cal. Open to reasonable offers.

I got the exact same rifle. Out of all the hunting bolt guns that I have used specifically for deer, this rifle tops the list. The Winchester M70 FWT rifles made during this era were excellent. The 7x57 is an outstanding round for this platform.
I have killed deer with this rifle while hunting with two members of this forum, and on separate hunts. Both times were successful for me and both were bang flops over 200 yards. I highly recommend this rifle!

Thanks RAS.
It’s one of my favorites. Looking to go in a different direction with some stuff. Cool rifle, my last 3 bucks were shot with it.

I've owned a couple of those and have long felt that they were probably the best looking American-made rifles ever chambered in 7x57. Good luck with your sale!

I have been looking for a 7x57 for several months and just bought a ruger. Wish I had waited a few days. Has this been an accurate rifle? I still have a scope that i need to put a rifle under.

It’s been pretty accurate. With factory ammo it likes Winchester 145gr and Federal blue box 140’s I can get 7/8” groups with Nosler ballistic tip 120’s

One last bump before deer season. Too nice to give away.

I think that you're likely to look back on this and decide that the best outcome for you was no sale.
