Guns for Sale - Winchester -- model 54 30/06 bolt action rifle _S2

Seller's Description:

   

 

 

	This auction is for a Winchester Model 54 30/06 caliber bolt action rifle.  Mechanically this gun functions well, bore is clean and finish is good to very good. The Winchester Model 54 is a bolt action rifle manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The 54 was the first successful production run centerfire bolt action for Winchester. The Model 54 Winchester, after three years of designing, was made available to the public in 1925 with production taking place for only eleven years, 1936 being the last. During this short span, approximately 50,000 rifles were manufactured in ten catalogued calibers. Various references somewhat disagree on actual production figures, one indicating as many as 52,000 rifles were produced. Obviously, the depression our country suffered during this period certainly held new gun sales down considerable. According to some references, a few rifles were assembled with left over parts up until the advent of World War II. Using a Mauser 98-type action, the 54 was a less-expensive derivation of the limited-production handmade Model 51 "Imperial" of 1919. The Model 54 was produced until 1936 when, with some modifications, it was reintroduced as the Winchester Model 70. These rifles were essentially all built by hand by craftsmen at Winchester who took pride in their work. Close attention was obviously given to fitting of parts, stock inletting, and all the other little things that were important pertaining to accuracy and appearance. One needs not be a collector to appreciate these rifles. Standard chamberings included the .22 Hornet, .220 Swift, .250-3000 Savage, .257 Roberts, .270 Winchester, 30-30 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 7x57mm Mauser, 7.65x53mm Argentine, and 9x57mm Mauser. Special order chamberings were made in .25-35 Winchester, .32 Winchester Special, and .35 Whelen. Introduced prior to the popularity of telescopic sights, it was intended for use with open or aperture sights, and the bolt throw makes the addition of a scope difficult.
