From what i remember, that was a limited run, made for 1 year. Around 1994 or 95.

Winchester customer service says it was made in 1997, but they could not tell me if its a a featherweight, custom, limited run or anything else to identify it.

Anyone have a 1997 catalog?

Wish I could see the barrel markings.
Is it a factory Winchester barrel? Marked as a Carbine?

The heavy varmint was available in 1997 as a pf 22-250 with a blued receiver/SS barrel. However, it was 26” and a synthetic stock. Could it have been lopped and put in wood?
What’s the barrel profile and are there Winchester markings on it?

Its a winchester barrel, profile is tapered and not what id expect a cut heavy barrel to look like. Its marked model 70 SA 22-250. Its in the plain walnut stock without the fancy fore end.

Just looked through my catalog collection and went through ‘96, ’97, and ‘98 - only PF blue/ss 22-250 cataloged during that time was the heavy varmint. So, it could have been a non cataloged run as bsa suggested, or maybe someone screwed a ss barrel onto a ranger pf or some other variation of a frankenchester ...
Hope that helps!
