Winchester's first bolt-action sporting rifle and the direct predecessor to the iconic Model 70. Introduced the .270 Winchester cartridge (still one of the most popular hunting cartridges in North America). The Model 54 established the controlled-round-feed Mauser-derived action that would define the Model 70 and all subsequent Winchester bolt-actions. Loved by hunters for its accuracy and handling.
