Have you heard of Winslow Arms Co

[Gene66]

I have one in .243 with the diamond inlays on the side. I believe it has a Douglas barrel on it. I bought it back in the 1970s. I believe for $215.00. It has been in the gun safe the whole time. I did shoot it with five shot groups and they were all well under an inch.
Good shooting,
Gene

Winslow Arms Company was founded in Osprey, FL by John Winslow, Nils Hultgren, & Richard Bortmess.

Here is a couple pictures:

Donovan, thanks for the pics! Those rifles look very similar to the ones I used to gawk at as a kid. I think gawk is a misnomer>>>LUST is more like it! LOL!! They were beautiful rifles!

On the second trip to get a few more blanks, I was able to talk him out of a stock hanging on the wall. Inlet for Sako L461. Rosewood and Ivory. It's a cool little stock....

The reason the address was Casey key road it was and still is the only way you could get to the key from US 41 41 had a drainage ditch So no access was available . They only used 1/2 of the building . Douglas was the barrels they used They were contoured and fitted with dog and steady rest and chambered the same way .
Blueing was done in a building that was not attached . Larry

Always too much ghetto bling to me.

When I see that stock design I'm reminded that I'm glad there were/are other choices.

When I see that stock design, I'm reminded that we didn't have very good taste back in the day.

I always thought Winslow rifles were made in Winslow , Arizona .
I also thought Wison Barrels owned Cooper rifles- not Winslow Rifles.
Time for more eggnog I guess.

Danny, Lets say you may not be old enough to have good taste, much less the seniority to appreciate it... Technology has come a long ways down the road, hope you are old enough to appreciate that... History has brought us where we are today. Hope you and Your Family are having a Merry Christmas and please enjoy your Happy New Year!!!

I'm not much on the carved stock pictured. Nor the game animal inlays.

My stock however, shoulders easy and is super stable. The cheekweld is spot on, the wide forearm fits the hand, and there is a right palm swell that's just right.

Maybe one day I'll put an action in it....

I recently acquired a Remington 700, that is engraved Winslow Arms Co. and sports a 1.250' straight barrel in 6mm Remington.

The metal is highly polished and blued,really glossy deep color like a chrome blue), jeweled bolt, and its buttery smooth...Just wondering if anyone has heard of them before.

I did find that they are in Camden, SC

Thanks

The owner of Cooper Firearms also owns Wilson Barrels in Connecticut.

I have a Art Lawson, several Weatherbys a golden eagle 7000 but still need a Winslow rifle.

Probably not into high art then. Don't follow this link. This is high art:

Well beyond my budget unfortunately.

Stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and wait for a girl in a flat bed Ford. If she slows down, ask her where it is.

I'm having trouble associating Piotti with Winslow artform. They're not in the same ballpark. The Winslow's look like they're California/Weatherby inspired type of craftsmanship. I wouldn't complain about their craftsmanship, but that style just isn't for me. Monty Kennedy was arguably one of America's greatest stockmakers and he made a living doing Weatherby style stuff because that was what he was employed to do but he was also quite capable of producing great Classic stocks as well. It's all a matter of taste.

Yeah, Winslow is not to my taste these days as well. Did lust after the style 55+ years ago as a kid and can appreciate the work involved but then I discovered what real art is. It starts at many orders of magnitude above my budget. I know people who can afford that level and who do own pieces at that level. I'm glad they can and do as they keep the art form alive and provide me something even better to lust after.

As a young guy who could barely afford a Remington 788 at $83.95, Winslow Arms was other-worldly to me. Gun Digest, Shooters Bible were Nirvana to me. Winslows were from another world of unobtainium and beautiful art way beyond any common rifle.

In a few decades they will be saying the same thing about some of todays stock styles.
