The Winchester Model 54 is a bolt-action rifle manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company . The 54 was the first successful production run civilian centerfire bolt action for Winchester.[1]
Using a Mauser 98 [2] [3] Winchester Model 70 . The Model 54 had a relatively heavy two stage trigger pull, which was greatly improved in the Model 70 .[3]
Standard chamberings included the .22 Hornet , .220 Swift , .250-3000 Savage , .257 Roberts , .270 Winchester , 30-30 Winchester , .30-06 Springfield , 7x57mm Mauser , 7.65x53mm Argentine , and 9x57mm Mauser . Special order chamberings were made in .25-35 Winchester , .32 Winchester Special , .35 Whelen , and 38-55 Winchester .[4] [5]
Intended for use with open or aperture sights, the bolt throw makes the addition of a scope difficult as it was introduced prior to the popularity of telescopic sight .[4]
