Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTS: Winchester 70 Custom Shop 338 Win Mag

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".

$2150 shipped in a hard Plano case and insured

Very nice

Beautiful gun, GLWS

Wow. Fine looking rifle.

That's gorgeous!

That’s good wood

Very nice looking Model 70. Do you have the Custom Shop letter? Does it have a special Custom Shop Stamp or Serial # configuration like Gxxxx?

It’s not a classic, so the serial number will not follow that configuration.

OK Gotcha Thanks

Thanks gents. No custom shop stamp. Serial # is G204XXXX

I do not have a custom shop letter for the rifle

Now that's a rifle! GLWS.

Absolutely beautiful!
Back when the shop had excellent select woods, and the folks who knew how to work with it.

Soooooo nice!

Thanks gents

What is really interesting to me about this rifle is that it would have been made during the time when the custom shop was also producing the classics (crf). I suspect your friend probably had to special order it from the CS as a pushfeed.

Awesome rifle

Thanks Mtdogdreams
