Up for sale:

Winchester Model 70 Classic Stainless Steel, synthetic stock in 338 Win Mag.

Controlled Round Feed.

Six digit serial number

BOSS

Factory original, except for trigger adjustment.

One light scratch on the magazine floor plate (picture shows it well).

A few light scratches and blemishes on the stock that don't show in pictures.

Trigger is nice at about 3.5 pounds

I have fired it 14 times. It may have been unfired prior to that.

Yes, it's in that good of condition. The pictures tell the story.

I removed the BOSS and did a little load development with 180 grain TSX and 180 grain Accubonds. Both shot about 1.5" groups at 100 yards.

I'm sure it will do better.

My plans were to cut the BOSS off and recrown and take it to AK on a grizz hunt. It's highly unlikely that will come to fruition, and I have plenty of rifles that kill elk well, so someone else can make it happen.

$940 shipped to your FFL from private individual.

Available to the buyer for additional $ is Redding FL dies, brass (100 new and 14 1x fired), and 45ish 180 grn TSX, and 90ish 180 grn Accubonds.

That’s an elk hammer there, an outstanding caliber.

Just did a search here on the 338wm and barrel length. Consensus was 24” is desirable. One gent said he lopped off an inch at a time and ran it through a chrono. Only 20fps per inch lost.

I have the same rifle, without the BOSS. I've considered selling it over the years, but was always afraid I would regret it, as there is nothing else like it available. And its a real Winchester.

Not a lot of love for the BOSS, have a 30/06 and a 22/250, both group +/- 1/2" @ 100, very little recoil but they are LOUD.
