Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present this absolute "Holy Grail" of modern Winchester production: an exceptionally rare 1983 manufacture Winchester Model 70 “Ultra Grade” Featherweight chambered in .270 Winchester with a 22" sporter style barrel. One of a limited edition of only 1,000 units commissioned through the Winchester Custom Shop, this specific specimen bears the incredible, low-digit serial number UG 18. This investment-grade masterpiece represents the absolute zenith of Custom Shop craftsmanship, featuring components that were hand-selected for match-grade accuracy and meticulously hand-fitted to ensure a level of performance that is second to none.
This breathtaking rifle is a canvas for museum-quality artistry, featuring full-coverage factory master engraving by the world-renowned Bottega C. Giovanelli. The receiver, tang, floor plate, and trigger guard are adorned with exquisite leaf scroll motifs, including a detailed ram’s head on the floor plate, with the engraver’s signature clearly visible on the top left rear of the receiver. The embellishments are further elevated by extensive 24k gold inlays, including the "Winchester Trade Mark" roll mark, the serial number, muzzle bands, and the "1 of 1,000" designation on the barrel. The rifle is stocked in a spectacular piece of Exhibition Grade highly-figured walnut with a traditional Schnabel forend and fine-line checkering that remains factory-crisp.
This premier collector package is 100% complete and remains in pristine Unfired condition, retaining all of its original factory finish. Included with the rifle is its original serialized factory manual and the massive, custom-fitted deluxe walnut presentation display cabinet. Having never been used and showing only the faintest storage marks on the bottom of the wood from 40+ years of display, this #18 Ultra Grade stands as a singular opportunity for the elite Winchester investor to own one of the most beautiful bolt-action rifles ever produced.
