I just recently purchased a smith & Wesson model 1500 bolt action rifle. Chambered in 270 wcf. Serial #pn10216. I purchased it @ an online auction. My ffl dealer had never heard of such a rifle ever being in production from smith & Wesson. Let alone that this rifle is in mint shape and has never been fired. Has one tiny ding on the stock. No sights, scope only. Could you please tell me when. Serial number- PN83108. The Smith and Wesson 1500's were made by Howa, the same barreled action as the Weatherby Vanguard. The lustrous blue metal finish and the hand-rubbed smoothness of select American walnut give Model 1500 rifles the look and feel of far more expensive guns.
