Ever body is taking this a little too literal. I am talking specifically about Winchester guys with sightless model 70 FTW's I was picking up on your sarcasm with the Savage...

Everybody thinks they have a gopher special Yup! Mine's a 12FV with a 26" bull barrel. Makes targets like Roy's .303 legendary shot.

What is that, an S on the date stamp under the scope? The 22-250 doesn't show up until 1966 catalog, but an S on the date stamp would make it a 1965 barrel. The 110's also lost their cut checkering in the 1966 catalog. So an early production 22-250 in 110 from late 1965? And here you go... The 1966 110MC in 22-250 was catalogued with a 24" barrel and NO sights. So it's perfectly legit. Except the cut checkering.. that probably makes it an uncommon beast, maybe like the cut checkered 284's? Course, the 1966 catalog might have come out in summer of 1966 and there's a lot of cut checkered 22-250's.. something for you to dig into.

not common in my experience Roy. I have a couple featherweight barrels that have well-tended dovetail fillers that have been reblued, nicely done, but You can still see the dovetail outline. I have two early 110's that don't appear to ever have had a serial number stamp..., Who knows what the "custom" shop might have been doing on Friday afternoons?!?
