What’s Included
- Winchester Model 270 .22 pump-action rifle
The Model 270 is part of Winchester's 1960s–1970s .22 200-series, with pooled serial numbering across the family. This example dates to 1972 and retains hallmark features of the line, including the right-side ejection and jeweled bolt surfaces.
The 20.5 in factory steel barrel is marked for .22 S, L, and LR, offering flexibility across common .22 rimfire loadings. The bore is clean with sharp lands and grooves, supporting the rifle's practical accuracy potential.
Feeding is via a tubular magazine with a 15+1 capacity. The action is the smooth, manually cycled pump design that defines the Model 270, paired with open iron sights: a ramped front and a rear notch on an elevator ramp for quick elevation changes.
The walnut stock and matching pressed-checkered forend show the period zig-zag/diamond motif. Stock features include a pistol-grip profile, a black plastic buttplate, and a white-line spacer. Length of pull measures 13.75 in. The metal wears a blued finish with a black receiver, characteristic of the era and model.
