Title: Looking for a second rifle.. I found it. :)
Post by: Remington 243 on September 03, 2009, 07:21:18 PM: 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.

Post by: Kent Hunter on September 07, 2009, 12:42:24 AM: 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. ;)

Post by: C-Money on September 07, 2009, 09:23:57 AM: 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!
