Manufactured using what would later become the Winchester Model 70 Classic action by the famous David Miller Co., this wonderful rifle features a gold inlaid band and light engraving at the muzzle and marked "No 287" and "375 H&H MAG" on top in the center. The barrel as it nears the chamber transitions to an octagon shape with the top flat being a high polish blue inlaid with two gold triangle pointing away from one another and "DAVID MILLER CO." on a French grayed panel and another band of gold inlay at the chamber. The action features light intertwining line engraving and "WINCHESTER" on another French grayed panel. Mounted atop the action is a Leupold 1.5-5x scope in a gold inlaid and lightly engraved David Miller Co mount. The jeweled bolt even features some light engraving at the rear of the extractor, on the bolt handle, and bolt shroud which has its own panel for the "FIRE" position of the safety. Even the magazine follower is engraved with "4 CARTRIDGES". The floorplate features a raised relief Cape Buffalo surrounded by floral scroll engraving and inlays with "SYNCERUS CAFFER CAFFER" below it and "No 287" on the trigger guard. Mounted in a lightly figured multipoint checkered walnut pistol grip stock with rosewood widow's peak forend cap, shadowline cheekpiece, engraved fittings, cross bolts, gold inlaid grip cap, "L/W" engraved initial escutcheon, and solid red rubber recoil pad.

ConditionExcellent as upgraded and embellished by David Miller Co. Retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks and crisp engraving.
