What's Included
- Winchester Ranger .270 Win bolt-action rifle
Built in the 1982–1984 era in New Haven, Connecticut, this Ranger reflects Winchester production of that period with markings that include "WINCHESTER TRADE MARK," "MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A.," and "WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL." A G-prefix serial is present on the receiver ring.
The rifle uses a 22 in sporter-contour barrel made from Winchester Proof Steel, paired with a smooth bolt-action that carries a round bolt knob. It feeds from an internal blind magazine with a 4+1 capacity and employs a 3-position wing safety. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases.
The hardwood stock has a Monte Carlo comb for a consistent cheek weld and is uncheckered for a clean, straightforward profile. Sling swivel studs are installed, and the length of pull measures 14.0 in. An aftermarket Boyds recoil pad is fitted for added shoulder comfort.
Factory-style open sights are present at the rear with a barrel-mounted open sight. The front sight base and dovetail are installed, though the front sight blade is not present.
