Not all Target rifles are Bull barrel configuration, depending on what class they were shooting in at the time they were produced. The 40-s and 50's 30-06 and 300 H&H target models that competed at Wimbledon were standard configuration for I believe Hunter class competition. However, if mine is any indication, the Target models had a trigger with a T stamped on the side. Incredible trigger on the Target models but other than that, there weren't many differences in the model configurations for the Target models. I believe some of the heavy barrel models were what were called the "Gopher Specials' and were meant as a varmint model.
Time to borrow my buddie's Rule book and bone up on the different models again....
