I do believe I will hang on to this one. The first range session with cheap Winchester 130gr Power Points turned in some rather impressive groups. The first group measured .30, the second group was .73 and the last group was .24 at 100 yards. I haven't totally decided on the stock color yet and may rpaint it in an olive with silver and white spider webs. I am also looking into having a wood or lainate wood stock made using the original stock as a pattern. This one is definately a keeper. I will also probably change out the scope for a Leupold FXIII 6x42 at some point. I just wish it were a 7x64 but .270s have always been good to me.
