Description

.338 Winchester Magnum Bolt Action Whitworth Express Rifle from Interarms.

**** CHECK OUT THE PERFORMANCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AD. ****

Classic and VERY WELL made rifles this is still fitted with the original front open sight fixed bead BUT there is no provision on the barrel for a matching adjustable rear sight? All I can assume is that originally it came with a suitable base and adjustable rear ‘V’ notch to screw to the front or rear ring of the Mauser Action where scope bases will go.

The action is stamped Alexandria Interarms Virginia Zastava Yugoslavia with a logo similar to CZ but these were never made by CZ. See the following link:

These are actually VERY nice rifles apparently assembled in England and finished to HIGH standards. Deep Lustrous Blueing just oozes from the 26” (660mm) barrel and action. I suspect the single trigger has a ‘set or hair’ facility but at present this has been adjusted out of play. The trigger ‘sets’ when pushed forward but the firing pin does not operate when the trigger is pulled. No doubt it can be adjusted ‘back into play’ if required.

The Well Patterned stock has some nice grain pattern and a pull of 15 1/8” (384mm). This will , no doubt, prove handy keeping the scope away from your eye given the power of the round! It is also fitted with an oval already engraved with the initials JHB. It COULD work out perfectly if there is someone out there with those initials looking for a rifle like this! It could also be replaced OR anyone could simply just ‘live with it’ and use the rifle and enjoy it.

Safety is mounted to the bolt in a horizontal operation / push forward, pull backward so a scope can mount as low as you would wish.

This is a HARD HITTING round and perfectly suited for long range open hill shooting as well as driven game, plains game and apparently a firm favourite for Brown Bear hunters in the US. Basically anywhere that SERIOUS ‘knock down’ power is desired / needed.

****With a 200grn bullet it produces near 3000 ft/sec and that at not a lot below 4000 ft/lbs of energy!

A couple of VERY small blemishes but generally VERY GOOD condition right through. A VERY nice and classic rifle.
