This absolute dream gun of a Winchester Model 70 had everything collectors want: Super Grade, carbine, in the early caliber of .257 Roberts, and even better than pre-64, it was World War 2 era - a time when commercial guns took a backseat to wartime production.The result was a number of bidders who pushed the "rifleman's rifle" past its high estimate of $8,500, and two determined collectors who drove it to more than TEN TIMES that amount. | Rock Island Auction - Collector Firearms | Facebook
