Winchester manufactured only 1,432 Model 697 bolt action rifles from 1937 to 1941. The Model 697 is similar in appearance to the Model 69 except the Model 697 is factory equipped for a scope and therefore lacks provisions for iron sights. Provenance: The James Windy Collection

Very good overall with most of the original finish, some mild handling wear, and wood with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Optics have small speck of dust, otherwise clear.
