Here's a question for the Winchester brain trust:

I have too many 270's and only one 280, and am feeling the need to thin the herd a bit.

One of the 270's is a 2008 Limited Edition FWT. The 280 is a FWT Shot Show Special.

I'd like to keep the Limited Edition as it has some good memories associated with it. And I NEED a 280. grin So I was considering having a 'smith swap the barrels and then selling the SSS rifle with the 270 barrel attached.

The SSS is like new and has some pretty nice wood on it. The Limited Edition is pretty nice but it has some honest hunting dings in the stock.

Perhaps I would come out ahead to just sell the 280 SSS as is, and use the proceeds to get a new barrel on the Limited Edition?

Any thoughts?
