Got this one recently in 243 cal. Had another years ago in 250 Sav, should have kept it !
I dont see many of these, any of you own one ?

I have one in 250-3000 that I restocked with a 70 FWT stock.

The 250-3000s have a 1-14" ROT, so bullet choices are more limited than they could be.

If I remember correctly, I think that was the reason I sold it. Never understood why Winchester did that !

I wanted to purchase a pre 64 Model 70 in a carbine but they are hard to find and when you do find them they are $$$$.

Always had a thing for pre-64 Carbines

One currently for sale:

Yeah, saw that.
Just to be clear, mine is a post 64 also. I think they were only made for 3 or 4 years.

Have one NIB with hang tag.When I get around to it it'll shoot these just fine I'm sure.

Those are the bullets that I shoot in mine, plus the 75 grain VMax loaded to match the 75 grain X and the 87 grain TNT loaded to match the 87 grain HotCore.

Does the 1 in 14 twist shoot the short 87 gr Speer Hot Cor’s ok? I thought one in ten was slow. What was the twist rate for the pre war 250’s anyone?

I bought two new ones in the 1980s, a .223 and a .250 Savage. Neither gun shot particularly well and the stocks were very plain. I eventually sold both.

Also 1 in 14”

I have one in 250 Savage. I sighted it in and have never hunted it. It is one you don't see everyday.

Well it does say "Economically priced fine utility rifle for all around use" on the tag

The 70 LWT Carbines in 250-3000 were only cataloged in 1987.

I had a 270 with a featherweight styled barrel. That gun shot extremely well. Cold barrel, hot barrel so hot you could barely touch it. all went into tiny groups. I put a Brown precision stock on it and gave it to my Dad. He shot a deer with it and decided he didn’t like the muzzle flash. He sold it
And bought a Ruger 77 laminate stainless in 280
Wish I still had that gun

I have a USRAC model 70 youth carbine 243 that I bought for the oldest son in 1986. Really light & shoots great.

I've got one in '06. I had it hard chromed by Mahosky and replaced the stock with a McMillan Winlite, added a Brockman pop-up peep and a Leupold 6x36. I like it alot, but will likely switch the scope to a 1-4 when the right one comes along. Regardless, it's a solid, handy hunting rifle with either the peep or the scope.

Have one in .270.

Is this a carbine or classic compact

Mine is a limited run "Synthetic Matte Carbine" in 7mm-08 from the early '90s.
