Sam,
I had always heard that the barrels were chrome lined and manufactured by High Standard. I have owned a couple of them. And I currently have one that has been rebarreled to .280 Rem. I once owned a .270 that came with the original 2 1/2x scope. My scope was in bad need of a rebuild. I called Weaver Scope Repair Serv, and was informed that the scopes were manufactured by Weaver... (As I had suspected.) I sent it in and I still have it. Nice, bright, crystal clear scope. It will likely end up on the .280,

Now that you mention it, the crown of the barrel did look shiney and bright. Looks like the front end of some of my evil black rifles, so it may very well be a chrome lined barrel, which would make it from High Standard then.
Thanks so much guys for all the information. Helps a lot.
Denton, I'll order a trigger from Midway this week, and replace the factory one. Sure don't need any accidents. Thanks.
