    Churchill was brand name/trade name associated with at least two different Mauser bolt action rifles. They were made in Europe, probably in the 80's time frame. My 2?, is that there would no collectors interest in them, and there only value would be as deer rifles.


    Post some quality pictures, some of the members could probably give you their ideas on value.

    I believe you could have a authenic English jewell. What is the barrel address. EJ Churchill was one of the big five London gunmakers from the turn of the century, mostly known for their fine double guns. They did however make bolt guns as well, using Mauser actions and others.

    Give us all the markings and/or proof marks, on your rifle. Hopefully with these, we will be able to identify DOM/manufacturer.

    The Churchill Mausers of the 70's-80's are nice low to mid priced bolt rifles, very similar to the Whitworth and Mark X rifles. If my memory serves me well they all used CZ made barreled actions, though I'm not 100% sure on that. I had a Mark X in .308 that was a nice fine shooting rifle. If it's one of these it's a weapon probably worth around $400, give or take, if it's a nice one. If it's a Churchill from the early 20th century thats a different story.
