Hi,

I just inherited a Winchester 70 XTR Sporter 270 vintige 1981 in mint condition.

I was wondering if this was a decent rifle. I like to do long range target work... maybe a little hunting... but I am unfamilure with the calibre and the weapon. Should I keep it or trade for a model 700 Remington in 308?

Thanks,

Rich
