Hey Addicted, did he have to special order it? I'm trying to find one in 270 for my old man but can't find them anywhere...some stores haven't even heard of it. I've been burnt before by ordering a shotgun without personally seeing it and I won't make that mistake twice.

Or better yet, has anyone seen one locally?

Thanks!

He's in south carolina and picked it up at the store where they had 2 of them. one in 7mm08 and one in 30.06.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Will do! But, if they have a 270 or 243 I'll be more concerned about taking cash... :tup:

My old man is...well, he's old. He's got the old timers disease and he wants to be able to buy a box of shells in any backwoods beer or hardware store  :chuckle: I'll get him the 243 if they have one, although he might not be very happy about it, only because it weighs in at 5.5 lbs and the 270 is at 6 lbs. That doesn't sound like much of a difference for you and I but for someone with MS, it's the difference between hunting and not...

i bet that half pound doesnt make up for the difference in recoil either.

He's a new shooter so i told him that the gun is going to far exceed his talents at first, especially with how light it is.... but eventually it will split hairs for him.
