Looking for a second rifle.. I found it. :)

I have decided. With some expert advise from my friends at Kesselrings Gun shop here in Bow Washington.
I just bought the Tekka T3 Hunter, 270. Wood Stock. Topped it with the Leupold Rifleman 3x9x40 scope.
I has a very smooth action and , for me,, a light triger.. I like that. Much more exact and lighter trigger than my
Rem 243. I'm going to see if some one can lighten the trigger pull on my Rem. just a bit.
Going out next week to the Range and sight it in.

Great choice on .270, a fantastic caliber. We have killed tons of elk and deer with them for over 35 years. I also love wood stocks, but also want a lightweight stock to convert my 270 into a "mountain rifle" to try for a change....

Now on to the important question. Are you going to have your handle changed to Remington 270?

nice gun, they usually have good wood on them. I have a t3 lite in 30-06 and a 2-7 leupold rifleman on it, it is my go to gun.

You'll love your new weapon brother!! .270 is an awesome caliber. My wife shoots a .270 WBY mag and I tend to take that with me everytime if she isn't going with me.

270's are great! I too think the federal ammo is about the best I have found. The 270's I've been around shoot the 130gr federal classic ammo very well. Congrats on your new gun!

Nice pickup, I have had good luck with the Federal Premiums 130gr Noslers, here is the general info on them.
