Hi everyone, my second post here in THR...
I own a .270 Win, Winchester 70, Featherweight (my guess), because of its short barrel, made aproximately in 1972.
My question arrises because of its extremely short barrel: 21 inches only, it has the two holes of the iron sights, so I don´t think it was cut. I can´t remember its twist of rate, but I´d say its around 1*10.
I´ve never seen or read about a rifle with such a short barrel, in fact, modern Model 70ies have a 22 inch long barrels...
Gentlemen, was my rifle cut? Might it be another configuration rather than the Featherweigth... ? I hope you can help me out with this one...
Thanks,
