- Lot Description
.22 S/L/LR, 27" tapered barrel, S/N 1853. Blued finish, smooth, pistol-gripped walnut stock with plain forend, detachable magazine. The Model 697 was introduced in the January 1937 price list with deliveries starting in June. The Model 697 is in all respects a Model 69 with telescope sight only. The scope bases were low as there was no provision for dual sights. The barrel markings are unchanged from the Model 69. It was offered with the three types of scope and was listed for $11.35 less the scope. 1,431 Model 697 rifles were produced prior to their discontinuance in 1941. This circa 1937-1939 Model 697 features the later 2.75-power scope. Note that the rear base is on the receiver ring. It has British proofs and an added serial number, and was undoubtedly still in stock in 1941 when Winchester sold the remaining inventory to England for the home guard to use during WWII. It has a correct 69-marked magazine.
**C&R or FFL requiredFine, retains most of the blued finish with some lightly scattered surface oxidation. Mechanically functional, fine, bright bore. Stock with moderate handling marks. Clear optics.Condition
