I have a Model 70 chambered in 270 equipped with the BOSS that I purchased lightly used if used at all...
Of course it came without the box, manuals and the wrench.
Winchester/Browning has provided me with a new wrench, manuals and a sweet spot list. The sweet spot list they provided to me however; is for the Browning ABolt and BAR...
I'm curious if anyone has the actual Winchester Model 70 BOSS sweet spot list as I assume the barrel contours on each rifle is different and thus the harmonics that the BOSS is attempting to change are different.
Thanks to all for any help you can provide!

Winchester's website has the instruction manual but, doesn't have the sweet spot list... I've contacted Winchester/ Browning and was supplied with the sweet spot list for the Browning A-bolt and BAR both with very different numbers.
I was hoping someone out there might have a Model 70 with the list made up for the Winchester as I would think the barrel contour as proven by the Brownings would be different. Just looking for the starting points...If all else fails I'll just use the A-Bolt #s and work from there...

Here is the info you wanted but first you must calibrate your BOSS to zero. Line up the Zero on the lock nut with the zero hash mark on the barrel.

For a .270 here are the numbers for Sweet Spots:
150 grain Federal Sweet Spot = 6
140 grain Remington Sweet Spot = 3.5
130 grain Federal Sweet Spot = 2.5
100 grain Remington Sweet Spot = 3.5

To set a sweet spot of 3.5 - fully rotate the lock nut (3 full turns) to the 3 hash mark.
Next rotate the micrometer adjustment ring to 5.

Lock down your adjustments by turning the tip end (with holes) down to lock the micrometer so it can no longer rotate.

Check you accuracy at the range. With slight variations in the micrometer adjustment (the second adjustment) you can tighten your grouping even better.
