Winchester Model 270 - Model 270

The Model 270 pump action was chambered in the .22 caliber and has a tube magazine with a capacity of 16 .22 long rifles, but can hold about 21 .22 shorts.

The Winchester model 270 is relatively rare in the 200 series for Winchester rifles.  Related 200 series models include the 250, 255, 275 and 290.  The total production for all of the 200 Series family is over 1.6 million according to Winchester.

This rifle came in 2 types: The standard and the deluxe.  The Winchester 270 Deluxe was the same as the standard except has a fancy walnut Monte Carlo stock, factory sling swivels and some enhanced carving.  In certain cases, the deluxe was embellished with basket weave and oak leaf checkering and a gold trigger and safety button.  All rifles in the 200 series have a grooved receiver to accept scope mounts.

All Winchester 270s were produced with a 20.5 inch barrel, a fixed front sight, adjustable rear sight.  Additionally, there is a plastic forearm variation that is less desirable among collectors.
