Anybody know the barrel lenght of a Winchester XTR in 270 Weatherby? Could you tell me more about this rifle? Did it come with iron sights?

Hi Mark. My XTR came with iron sights, but it is in 270 Win not Wby (although I have one of those, as well) so I can't tell you about the barrel length. I didn't care for the stock design, so I substituted it for another. - Dan

Mark;
My XTR came with iron sights, but it is in 270 Win not Wby also. I just measured the barrel and it is 22" long. It had iron sights, but I removed them, if yours doesn't have sights it still should have the screws where they were. [Smile]
