Winchester Model 70 Pre-64 .375 H&H Custom Built by Conco Arms Leupold Vari X III

Quite possibly the finest rifle I own is a Sterling Davenport M70 in .416 Rigby. This rifle could be the twin to that one. Almost identical styling. Oof, this is a nice one, Jager.

Interesting you say that. I own two done by Sterling and I thought this checkering looks like his work. He was known to do checking work for other makers including some of the London big names.
 
Conco may have contracted him for this work. From what I know is that Conco was a NY businessman that had an ffl and love for the Hoffman calibers, and fine big bore guns and produced about 80 rifles and they were contract builds by the best builders. This is what I could find out by asking around but who knows. I need to talk to the guild. The gun is very meticulously built and good metal to wood fit. Checkering is superb. If I don't sell it by the end of the week, I am thinking I may just keep it and I want to add a leather purdey style pad to it or an english red pad and get the bottom metal engraved.
 
I have several guns from Jager and all were better than described. Wish I could sell my 375 pre 64 and buy this one.
 
TTT ! $5,750.00 gets this one shipped!!
