A little difficult to find S&W imported .270 Winchester rifle. Howa rifles use excellent steel in the receiver and have a reputation for being more accurate than their reasonable retail price would imply. As for this example, it used to be a very pretty rifle... The stock's toe is chipped and cracked, and the barrel's bluing is faded and worn. Still, if you want a rifle you can drag through the woods and absolutely NOT worry about, this is it. It would also make a great project rifle for someone with the spare time to pretty it up, correctly. While the rifle has been cleaned, lubed and inspected by our gunsmith, it has not been test fired. This is not a C&R item.
