Buckstix, is that thing signed? I wonder who did that? It doesn't look like a basement gun, rather professional made.
That was called California styling, late 1950's-1960's.
Nice find.

Hello DoubleD,

I don't have the rifle "in hand" yet. but I'm betting I will find that it was an early gun built by Winslow Arms. I was a big time Winslow collector, having sold off my collection a few years back. (see pics) I kept only one, a 378 Wby Mag that was built on a Brevex Action. (last pic) I have an intimate knowledge of their style and even have copies of their production records. They used many different brands of actions when they first started the Company. I'll be looking for work-order stampings on the underside of the barrel, or on the stock, or other evidence that matches the records. It might even be a Custom rifle that was stocked by Nils Hultgren who was Winslow's stock maker. Nils also did independent stock making while working for Winslow. Now you can see why I'm attracted to these "Wild" customs of the 1960s & 70s. I also kept a custom Lawson. (first pic)
