That’s some of the best wood I’ve seen on the Winchester version 👍 Good catch!

Those are sweet rifles. I managed one myself along with two B78's. Single shot rifles are just plain cool.

Alan. The barrel is 24", as soon as i can locate my shipping scale, i'll give you a weight. It's not what i would call heavy by any stretch. GPSfan, I agree single shot rifles are cool, i would like to find a nice B78 in .270.

Nice looking rifle. Mine is a 22 hornet, and very accurate.

Good buy. I would never have left it behind either. Huge bonus in my view for that caliber.

Picked this high-wall .22-250 up 25 years ago for $575 1st year production, circa 1973. 53gr Hornady FB match over 35gr 4064 is stupid accurate.
