It is with a heavy heart that I am offering my 2004 Winchester Model 70 Super Grade .30-06. The rifle is in absolute unfired condition and controlled round feed. I specially ordered the rifle new from my FFL in 2006 to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the .30-06 Springfield and because I knew that production in New Haven was coming to an end. It was only later that I learned the rifle was actually built in 2004.
If there is a scratch on the rifle, then I absolutely cannot find. The sole exception would be the tracks in the bluing of the feed rails from opening the bolt. The rifle does have the pictured two-piece Leupold bases attached and included. Said bases were installed without the use of Loctite. Further, the rifle does not have any of the rough tool marks that were present on the New Haven guns of the nineties.
The rifle has never been sighted in nor hunted with and has been sitting in various cabinets/safes of mine for the last 18 years. I am only selling to soften the blow of my recent freight invoice that contains my 2023 leopard, etc.
I am asking $2150 shipped to your FFL. Please ensure your FFL will accept a shipment from a private individual.
 
That’s a really nice looking rifle. If the bolt was on the other side I’d be working out payment arrangements. GLWS
 
Does the floor plate have "Super Grade " engraved, or just plain?
 
Due to updated freight quotes nearly 50% of the original invoice and, thankfully, lack of buyer interest, I am happy to report that rifle is no longer for sell. Thank you to everyone for the positive comments. Thread closed.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
