All things considered it was a good project. This gun has been around for over 70 years enduring treatment we'll never be privy to. It's a tribute to Winchester engineering and craftsmanship IMHO that this sporter shoots as well…

…this rifle was chambered for Roy's most underappreciated cartridge design, the 7mm Weatherby, a short magnum almost identical to his very popular .270 Weatherby, differing in bullet diameter by only .007". Neither is in the least uncomfortable to shoot in a Mark V by shooters of average size.

Rifles can have difficult personalities but some are worth getting to know. Sounds like you have that 270 figured out. All things considered it turned out to be a pretty good rifle. Good job!

Hi BRP-
Winchester certainly did make some 308 WIN Bull Guns, but as far as I know (unlike the Nat Match and Target Model) they were never specifically cataloged as a Special Order option. They also made a few in 300 WIN MAGNUM that weren't cataloged.

The one I'd like to see (own) would be the National Match in 308 WIN. These, along with a Target Model in 308 WIN, were specifically offered on Special Order in 1953-1954 only. Read the "fine print" on this page from the 1953 Winchester…

…and scope $625 is about full retail price but they are hard to find so you did well. The correct bases and scope will cost you another $600-$700 and the value of a complete 67 Dual Sight is about $1400-$1600 if in very good condition.

I know the 1890 rimfire line was targeted heavily with replacement barrels.
