I have a Winchester model 100 rifle s/n 125xxx which is a 1965 rifle. These rifles were only offered in .308, .243 and .284 calibers. However the rifle I have is chambered in 7mm-08. How is this possible? Can anyone provide any information on this rifle and why it is chambered in a caliber that was never offered.

Without seeing it, it is almost certain to be an aftermarket barrel or a modified original barrel. I believe the 708 cartridge was offered commercially by Remington around 1980. The model 100 was discontinued in the early 1970s. It seems improbable the cartridge and model were offered together.

Upon reading the post, my opinion is the same as ,sb.The 7mm-08 was introduced long after the Model 100 was discontinued . Smile
