Pains me to post this, but planning for an Africa hunt and this is a casualty of the budget.

Asking $3800 for the rifle and scope.

Customer Winchester Model 70 in 7x57 Mauser. Rifle was built by Satterlee Arms. Barrel is a K&P 22” - slightly heavier profile. Stock is a Super Grade stock, one piece bottom metal is aluminum.

Scope is a Leupold VX-5 2-10x42 in gloss Talley rings and bases.

Total rifle/scope build is 9lb 13oz which makes it a very easy rifle to shoot!

How does it shoot??
Quite well - have found some great loads with 154gr Interlocks and 143 gr Hammer bullets.

Always intended to work up a load with 175gr partitions but never found time to get after it. Would have also loved to try 160gr Swift A Frames, but finding A Frames is quite the challenge lately!
 
Nice rifle with one of my favorite scopes included. There is a lot of competition in that price range, but yours is one of the best...........good luck..........FWB

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
