I. Absolutely beautiful, drop
dead gorgeous rifle made by the same manufacturer, in the same factories, that
produced the venerable Winchester 101 shotguns and the Weatherby Mark V series
rifles—Nikko Firearms Ltd. of Tochigi, Japan! My statement above about “Quality
Like Weatherby, Sako, Sauer, Blaser, Remington” could not be any more true! The
following brands should also be included: Browning, Dakota, Cooper, Montana,
Kimber, Winchester, Mauser, Springfield, etal—and yes, even compared to
high-priced Blaser! One just has to look closely at, and hold a Golden Eagle in
their hands, while listening to the sound of perfection in the cycling of the
bolt—to unequivocally know it’s the real deal!!! For both unreal looks and
technically perfect engineering, the model 7000 rifles most certainly offer the
best value available for a high-powered (collectable) rifle!!! If I was still
hunting or collecting, I would be all over this treasure!
II. So, for your consideration I offer an outstanding opportunity to own
this new-old-stock (NOS), in the original factory box with all paperwork,
unfired, non-scope-mounted, “Golden Eagle Model 7000”—in the super-powered .338
Winchester magnum! If you’re man enough to shoot this much power, it will
easily take down virtually any North American game (including Sasquatch) and
most African game. It features an exhibition grade, French, blonde walnut
stock, gloss finished with hand-carved (I think), skip-line checkering. Notice
how the exotic patterns run the full length of the stock. The rosewood pistol
grip features a (sort of tiny) gold-plated, engraved, eagle’s head. The
only imperfections are miniscule and ultra-slight that most likely came from
the factory. This extraordinary rifle offers you a much, much
better-than-average value! Note: For the definition of “NOS” see our “Firearm
Standards” link under the “Additional Terms of Sale” tab above.
III. The more desirable, reasonably heavy, tapered barrel is of the optional
26 inch length. It measures 1.183” at the receiver and gracefully tapers to
.630” at the muzzle. Not many 7000’s were made with this barrel. The other,
much more common, sporter barrel was a slender 24 incher. And, all the metal is
so highly polished the bluing truly looks like black ice! I’ve only seen a few
other guns in my lifetime that equaled this bluing! No way have I been able to
capture that ultra-bright luster of the bluing, in the photos, without
reflection or glare!
IV. Also, my research unveiled two
different claims for the type of action the model 7000’s have. One says the rifles
have a “Mauser” bolt action while the other says they have a “Sauer” action.
Either action would happily be a win-win, but you experts will have to make
that determination. This rifle comes with the original factory box (nothing to
write home about), test target, paperwork, and NOS vintage scope mounts made by
Redfield. I have 200 rounds of new Hornady ammo in another auction.
V. Nikko is the
name of the district, in which Tochigi City is located, about 50 miles north of
Tokyo. The word Nikko translates to "Sunshine”. In 1962, Nikko formed a
joint venture with Olin/Winchester to produce the Winchester Model 101
over/under shotguns and later added the famous SXS—Model 23. I’m not sure of
the Weatherby/Nikko history. Nikko also manufactured the Winchester Model 777
rifle (a Golden Eagle 7000 with Winchester’s name on it) for the European
markets. Currently there is a 777 on
GunBroker for $12,000! Both the above Winchester and Weatherby firearms (and
others) were made by Nikko until about 1981.
VI. The photos really only do
a pretty-good job of depicting the exquisite overall beauty. I know my close-up
photos sometimes bite me in the ass, but I really want people to see what
they’re buying! Hell, you wouldn’t see this much detail if you were looking at
one in a shop! Sometimes I use intense lighting that can give some metal and
plastic parts, and/or stocks a kind-of "grainy" texture—but, they
don’t look that way with the naked eye! Again, close-ups biting my butt! Also,
there may be lint and a few hairs on the barrel photos, etc. They’re not
scratches (probably one of my shop-dog’s hairs). Bluing sometimes shows
discolored because I keep it wiped down with a KleenBore silicone gun cloth.
VII. When I take a
gun out of it’s box to photograph, I use extreme diligence in careful handling.
Also, I wipe all surfaces with a KleenBore silicone gun cloth. Most times when
I repack the gun/box, it’s much more protected from shipping jolts and moisture
than it came from the factory. Note: Any white stuff you see is Remington
Teflon dry spray. I really like it and have used it for years in place of oil.
Sure, I still apply oil and grease in very select areas, but those lubricants
attract a lot of gunk and necessitate cleaning way more often than the dry
Teflon. Also, if any consigned guns we take in are needing lubricant, well, you
can guess the rest.
VIII. Note
About Consignors: I know most of you
will just ignore this like I’m talking to a wall, but it remains a
fact—Consignors can be a fickle bunch when it comes to selling their guns.
Hell, I’ve had them read my (wonderful) descriptions and become re-sold on
their guns! At any time, if there are no bids, the Consignors can tell
me to raise prices or even cancel the auctions! Believe me, I do this way more
often than I’d like to. However, as soon as there is a bid, the auctions can’t
be stopped, and someone (like you) is going to get that/this gun! So (if you
haven’t guessed it) the moral of this short-story is once you’ve made the
decision to buy—don’t wait until the last minute to bid. Now, if you’ve read
this far, you know you want it—so bid! Thanks.
