Today I couldn’t pass up this old Winchester.
It’s a standard long tang 1936 Model 71 according to the 76xx serial number. I’m no expert, but from what little I do know it seems to be all original with the expected wear and tear for the age and sporting what I believe (and was told) is the No.98 factory bolt mounted peep sight.
I could be wrong on that and would appreciate it if anyone could dispute or confirm that.
Front sight hood is MIA of course. Aside from that, it seems to be intact and in pretty good shape for its age.
Any other info on it, good or not so good, would be appreciated.
.348 Win ammo on the way.
