i just bought a used one for 399.99 .it looks and shoots like a new one.
According to the Weatherby website the twist rate is 1 in 10"
The .270 is a necked down 30-06. .270 WSM is a necked down .300 WSM. The 270 WSM is faster than the .270, and has a shorter case.
No, .270 wsm and .270 winchester are not the same.
50-500 USD or more
The following actions, brands and models and are available in .270 WSM in 2009: Bolts, in synthetic and wood models, blued and usually stainless barrels: Browning A-bolt and X-bolt; Kimber 8400 and Montana; Remington Model 700 and its value-line Model Seven; Savage in many variations; Tikka T3 and T3 lite; Weatherby Vanguard; and Winchester Model 70. Semi-automatics: Browning BAR, Benelli R1; and Winchester Super X G1. Lever actions: Browning BLR (pistol-grip and straight stock, regular or takedown).
Have a gunsmith verify the exact 270 chambering. <><><> Agree. The standard .270 cannot fire the .270 WSM, and vice versa.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50-600 USD or so
Definitely Not !!
value is about $400-600 depending on condition and the date of manufacture is 1999
WSM = Winchester Short Magnum. A variety of WSM cartridges exist, i.e., 270 WSM, 300 WSM, 338 WSM BOSS = Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System. It is a a 3.5-inch long combination muzzle brake/weight. It threads onto the end of your barrel. By changing its position along the threaded muzzle, you change the length of the barrel and subsequent vibration/harmonics.
Not as it comes from the factory. It is offered in 7 different calibers- the .270 Short Magnum is not one of those.
