Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Model 70 Lightweight ??

In 1986, Winchester/USRA cataloged a one year run of 70 Lightweight Carbines in 250 Savage, but for some reason, they cut the barrels with the original 1-14" ROT and that limited the length/weight of the bullets that you could use in it. I have two of them, one with open sights that I bought from Mule Deer in 2005 and one without open sights that I bought via the old GUNLIST in 1991. I have installed both in 70 Featherweight stocks and think that they are much more attractive and that they look sort of like a modern version of the Savage 1920.
