This is a vintage pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 rifle chambered for .270 Winchester. The .270 cartridge is a necked down .30-06 which gives it a better ballistic coefficient and higher velocity, making it a flat-shooting round suitable for hunting game that won’t let you get too close. The rifle has had a vintage Griffin & Howe quick detach mount installed holding an equally vintage Weaver scope.
