Description:

Manufactured in 1984. This rifle has a featherweight style barrel manufactured without sights with one wide and one thin gold wire barrel bands near the muzzle, "1 of 1,000" marked in gold on the right side and an oval Winchester proofmark on top. The action displays nearly full coverage scroll engraving with punch dot backgrounds and gold wire borders and is marked with "UG755" in gold. The bolt and follower are jeweled. The scroll patterns also appear on the bolt knob, blue steel grip cap and floor plate which has the head of a big horn sheep and gold wire borders. The left rear of the action is signed "Bottega C. Giavonelli" giving the source of engraving as the Cesar Giavonelli school of engraving. The action is drilled and tapped for scope mounts with filler screws in place. It is mounted on a fancy American walnut featherweight style stock with full fiddleback grain pattern, extra fancy checkering patterns on the Schnabel forearm and pistol grip area, sling swivel studs and a Winchester red rubber rifle pad. Includes an original Ultra Grade Featherweight picture sleeve box and hardwood display case with stands. Also includes a letter from U.S. Repeating Arms confirming the date of manufacture and serial number.

Rating Definition:

Near new with all of the original blue finish, minimal light handling marks on the blue, bold gold highlights, clear crisp engravings and some light discoloration on the bolt body. The wood is excellent with minimal light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The display case is very good with some light dings on the outside and a loose right knob on the lid. Box is good with small tears at either end of the picture sleeve.
