Winchester Coyote .243 WSSM

[Terry]

Does anyone have a Winchester Coyote in .243 WSSM?
Were the barrels chrome lined?
Expected barrel life?

I once owned a Winchester Super Shadow 243 WSSM and the barrel was chrome lined.

As far as barrel life goes, I cannot say as I only had a few hundred rounds down the barrel but it still shot well. I once read that the chrome lined 223 WSSM barrel gave it better life than a 22-250 barrel. Bear in mind that the 223 WSSM is the fastest factory production 22 caliber rifle - yes, faster than the 220 Swift.

Here is an article about the chrome lining.

I have one and shoots good. It does have a chrome lined barrel. I have a few buddies that had them and their complaint was they don't feed but mine doesn't have that problem. Mine will shoot about 3/4" consistently.
