Description:

Brand new in box never fired "Safe Queen" Winchester 1895 lever action in .270win.
This rifle has been sitting in its box in the back of the safe for about 20years.
Very strongly built, Perfect wood, perfect bluing, perfect machining and no handling marks.
You as the proud new owner will never know that someone else loved this girl as much as you.
It is absolutely gorgeously built and feels even better than it looks, just like the beauty from your teens.
As you gently fondle the stock and bring her to your cheek you can hardly help closing your eyes when feeling the silky smoothness of her stock caressing your cheek and imagining the smells and sounds of the Jungles and Plains of Africa and India, where Teddy Roosevelt and Kenneth Anderson hunted man eating tigers, leopards, lions, hippos and in Kenneth Anderson's case even rouge elephants with the .405 win cartridge in this famous 1895 Winchester magazined lever action rifle, allowing pointed bullets to be safely loaded into this lever action, “The Winchester .405 is, at least for me personally the medicine gun for lions!” was Theodore Roosevelt's opinion.

By owning this rifle you pick up an amazing piece of history, beautiful original manufacturer workmanship made by Winchester and feeling the action by cycling the lever, you are experience the form and function that Theodore (Teddy Roosevelt) the 26th and youngest president of America, trusted his life to whilst hunting dangerous game in Africa.
Also Kenneth Anderson and his son Donald Anderson trusted their lives to this same rifle while assisting the Indian government by hunting man-eating tigers, leopards and Rogue Elephants.

Make an offer on this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a 1895 Lever in flat shooting and very practical .270Win
