Not exactly what I said.  Nothing wrong with Savages,  I have limited our builds to Remington and customs mainly due to keeping specialized tooling to a minimum.  I got tired of having to buy or make tooling for every make of action.  Spent more time doing that than the actual builds.  There comes a point when some tough choices have to be made, this was one of them.  Being swamped is both a blessing and a curse.

Not sure Kirby does Savages any more either.  Pretty sure on our last visit, he said he was doing custom actions only now.  With the new Berger .270 bullet coming out, things could re-awken with the 270 calibers.  Already have a reamer designed off my 7mm Rogue necked down to 270.

I was just ribbin ya! I figured the laughing face would convey that message.

The new .270 berger in 170gr is supposed to have a BC around .7.  Although the 195 7mm has a higher bc, it might be to much weight for the smaller cases.  A 180 Berger 7mm is in the .650 range, and the 180 Hyrbid is right at .7.  That, and I have a couple of 270 fanatics that pushed to have it.  Myself, I would rather have the 7mm, but the 270 is a viable option as well.
Thanks rbros :hello:

Ty, those Allen Mags cost more than $1000 :chuckle:  The ballistics are great though.  I think my next build will be a .338 allen mag :tup:
No J, I was just thinking he might be interested in talking with him, maybe get a barrel in the 270 Allen or something.  I love my Allen.  I'm using the necked down 300 RUM cases and it's a tack driver.
