Winchester Model 71 in 348 WCF…these rifles are often overlooked as some of the best large game rifles on the planet. That being said this rifle comes set up has ammo (35 Rounds perfect if you reload) a Age/Period Correct Weaver Scope with Side Mount & 1” Rings. The wood and metal are easily 98% condition the bore is clean and crisp the action is smooth and functions perfectly. The Model 71 is a piece of history in the Winchester line up and would make a great collector or used as a hunter. Below is a little history of the round and the punch this bad boy offers. CALL TEXT or PM (NINER18)21O-98ZeroFIVE.
*****Ammo will be included in the sale (35 New Rounds Boxed)***********

The .348 Winchester was introduced in 1936 in the Winchester Model 71 lever action rifle. The .348 cartridge was a modernized replacement for the old .33 Winchester and .35 Winchester cartridges, and the Model 71 was essentially an improved Model 1886 rifle. The Model 71/.348 combination was eventually replaced in the Winchester line by the Model 88 lever action in the ballistically identical .358 Win. caliber. The current Winchester .348 factory load uses a 200 grain Silvertip bullet (SD .236) at a muzzle velocity (MV) of 2520 fps from a 24" barrel. The muzzle energy (ME) of this load is 2820 ft. lbs. The figures at 200 yards are 1931 fps and 1656 ft. lbs. The trajectory of the Winchester factory load looks like this: +1.4" at 100 yards, 0 at 150 yards, -3.4" at 200 yards, and -9.2" at 250 yards. Winchester recommends this load for medium to large and heavy game and it is a good killer. The primary drawback is substantial recoil in the Model 71 rifle.​
