Guys I know this is a lot of money, but this is the finest lever action rifle ever made. I have its twin, and it's one of the last rifles I'd part with. And this is the "best of the best" - the Deluxe model. And the .348 is a thumper! If you ever thought you wanted one, here's your chance.

I have a 71 , not a deluxe model,
It puts big holes in elk.

I like the gun, id be interested in it if the left side is not drilled and tapped for that sight. but I believe it is. all mine have the sight on top. no drill and tapped. Mr. DS

For those not aware of this, Winchester from the beginning offered the option of a Lyman 56 receiver sight and did I believe, made D&T standard in the late 1940's.

That rear sight is definitely factory original equipment. The later 71's didn't have the sight mounted on the bolt. My 71 Deluxe has the Lyman sight as well as a folding barrel rear sight. It was purchased by my Dad in 1952 when the Air Force sent him from Korea to Northern Maine. Unfortunately he had a recoil pad added which makes it more tolerable to shoot but does nothing for collector value. The side mounted receiver sight makes the perfect position to add a Turnbull mount and a Burris Fastfire red dot.
