That used to be a 7mm Rem Mag, only thing left of the original rifle is the receiver and the bolt body. Now it's a 300 WM :P

Ive been drooling over that gun since it came out. I wish they would come out with a stainless synthetic light weight
i dunno if stainless is strong enough for the way they made the action.

Or better yet, has anyone seen one locally?
Thanks!

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.

If it was NC, I could help with hunting advice, wish I knew SC better. Maybe if he was closer to Greenville, I still have a friend or two there

He is not happy with the groups it is shooting but now that I have seen a pic of his shooting stance I have given him some pointers. These rifles are far too light for a wobbly set up if you are expecting good grouping.

I would have to blame the driver on those groups. :twocents::yeah: Look at the group in the lower left. I imagine (minus that one flyer) that is what the rifle is capable of and those others seem to show a problem with breathing and maybe some slight trigger pull problems.
Nice looking rifle though, I am jealous too.

I have had some redfields over the years and they have been good scopes. The new ones are pretty nice as well.
You get quality with Leupold and there is a reason there is more Leupold's sitting on peoples rifles then probably any other brand :tup:

because many people think their only options are bushnell and lupy.
I'm not bashing the redfield. I like them for what they are. I dont have much use for one on any of my current rigs though.
I was thinkin of slapping a 2-7x33 with the accu-range reticle on my 270 for a temporary scope.Problem with the 2-7x33 on the .270 is the short tube leingth on the long action. may have limited mounting options.
