Why this rifle stands out

Likely a Winchester Custom Shop rifle. The jeweled bolt and the fact that the checkering almost exactly matches the factory checkering are supposed to be indicators that it could be a custom shop gun but not definitive proof.  Very good condition. A few blemishes that could be fixed.

​

Highlights & Specs
        •       Caliber: 270 WIN

        •       23” barrel, 13 3/4” LOP

Metal has a couple light marks on the barrel and what appears to be thinning bluing in a couple places but it’s both small and light. Most can be seen in these pics.​​
