Winchester Model 70 Ultimate Shadow in 270 WSM

[azsugarbear]

I recently took ownership of this rifle. I don't need a second rifle in the 270 WSM caliber, so this one is up for sale. The Ultimate Shadow was designed as an all-weather rig with a synthetic stock. Barrel is 24" in length with a 1 in 10 twist that can stabilize bullets up to 160 grains. The scope that comes with the rifle is a cheap 3-9x40mm Bushnell. The entire set-up weighs just 7.5 lbs.

Honest appraisal: This rifle has seen some use. The scope and mounting hardware have many dings and scrapes - so does the stock. I had my doubts about this rifle's accuracy, so I gave the barrel a good cleaning and then took it to the range yesterday. Even with the typical untuned Winchester trigger and crappy scope, it still held a three shot group that measured 1.25" with both 140 gr. & 150 gr. factory Winchester Silver tip ammo. With a decent scope, I have no doubt the groups will shrink to 1.0"

This isn't the pretty girl you take to the prom. It's more a truck gun or starter gun with an appearance that belies its ability to perform. Priced to move at $435. If interested email or text/call at 602-361-7191.

Listed on other web sites as well, but preference given to CTW members.

You can get a reduced trigger spring, and have a trigger job done. I had mine done and its really nice, shooting in the mid .3/.4 with 129 gr. TTSX

If this doesn't sell, then I will keep it and start the improvements.

Upon further reflection, I have decided to keep this as a project gun. Thanks to all those that expressed their interest.
