Pre 64 bolt action Winchester model 70, 338 win mag caliber rifle. Manufactured in 1960 based on the serial number 494021. The 1960 year of manufacture is highly sought after as it is often considered the peak of the 'Alaskan' configuration, known for its durability in dangerous game conditions. 25 inch barrel has a very small spot of silvering around the muzzle with the factory hooded front sight and rear flip up leaf sight. The bore is in excellent condition, bright and shiny with crisp rifling. Matte black finished receiver is factory drilled and tapped for optic rail and Winchester on the left side. Bolt action is very smooth with traditional safety on the back of the bolt carrier group and the bolt handle has very good blueing. Excellent Monte Carlo style hardwood stock has a checkered forearm and pistol grip with a smooth finish and is in remarkable condition and a red rubber Winchester recoil pad and two sling rings. Standard barrel and receiver markings including the 'WP' proof on the barrel and receiver at the breech. The unique 338 win mag caliber only accounts for a small 1.6% of total production. Serial number: 494021 FFL status: C and R
