    click,

    My list states 1:10":

    Winchester 70, 88,100,670,770;

    You can check this for yourself with a ball bearing cleaning rod fitted with a brush and patch.

    From Shilen:

    6mm/.243
    8" Special for VLD bullets over 100 gr.
    10" For bullets up to 120 gr. and VLD under 100 gr.
    12" For bullets up to 85 gr.
    13"* For bullets up to 75 gr.
    14"* For bullets up to 70 gr.
    15"* Special for bullets up to 70 gr.

    Best.

    I have a stupid question - What is a Win 670?
    Where can I find out about it?
    Thanks for help.

    awinds,

    The 670 was an inexpensive stripped down version of a Model 70 that marketed by retail stores such as Sears.

    Thanks, nononsense.
    Another question - do the parts interchange with the Mod 70 - pre 64 or post 64 ??
