EXTREMELY RARE Winchester, Model 65 DELUXE, marked 218 BEE, MFG. 1939-47, SN: 1007141, Lever Action Rifle, 24'' Round barrel, 1/2 mag holds 7 rounds, This is one of the rarest & fewest made Winchester models of all models produced, with only 5,704 total rifles. The rifle was evolved from the model 53, which was itself an improvement on the 1892, & production started 1933, with the 218 Bee caliber added in 1939. While .25-20 are the rarest, 218 Bee examples are in highest demand amongst collectors & command premium values, especially when found in the deluxe variation like this example. The original deluxe checked & capped pistol grip wood stocks on this example are very good & solid. The points of the checkering have smoothed some with use & the finish has darkened a bit from finish loss, mostly found on the forend. There are very small handling marks or contusions, along with several finish lever scratches on the left side of stock. The original metal blue finish rates 70% on the barrel, while the blue has worn, flaked & thinned to 25% on the receiver & toning to a thin brown patina in areas of loss. The rifle is fitted with original adjustable rear & front ramp sights. Bore is excellent. Buttstock carries a factory metal checkered buttplate. Sling provision in stock. Good eye appeal on this rare deluxe model 65 in the most desirable caliber. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 3500 to 5000
