I came across this gem on Gunbroker and couldn’t pass it up. It had a buy now on it for only $1500. Surprised no one else on this forum had picked it up already.
Winchester Model 70 Classic Super Grade 338 win mag. New Haven Manf. Dates mid 1990s. 1996-97 best can get idea on. Really great condition with good wood. Came with Zeiss Davari C 3-9 on it.
Will change scopes and make a trip to Africa after a little work on it.
