Greetings,
Up for sale is a Custom Shop Model 70 built on an XTR Sporter Magnum barreled action. The rifle is chambered in 338 Win Mag and was made in New Haven, Connecticut.
The story behind this rifle is as follows: The original owner ordered the rifle from the custom shop for an upcoming safari. The rifle, however, was not finished in time for the trip so the gentleman bought a different rifle and sold this one. The second owner shot about a box of ammo through the rifle and put away. I bought it from the 2nd owner a number of years ago but have never fired it.
As you can see from the pics. the stock is absolutely beautiful. It has wrap around checkering on the forearm, ebony forend tip and matching grip cap, inletted sling swivel studs, jeweled bolt, and follower. The trigger has zero take-up, zero over-travel and breaks cleanly at around four pounds (based on feel, not measured). Engraved on the floor plate is "Foutch-1992".
