I have this Winchester Model 54 in 30-06 (labeled 30-Gov't-06) that I inherited from my late father a few years back, but still haven't shot it yet. Based on the serial number, it appears to have been made in 1929. It has a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9 in Conetrol rings and mount, 1:12 twist, and what I believe to be an aftermarket stock. I recently worked up a modern duplicate of the M72 match load using Sierra Match King 175gr BTHP's and 46.0 grains of IMR-4895, and will try to take it out sometime in the coming weeks. Just curious to hear if any other members have any experience with this model of rifle.
