Harold,

You have a pair of fine rifles there. They have a well deserved reputation for being accurate. I bought one in 270 for a donor action to build a 6.5-06 on. Made the mistake of shooting it so a friend could use it for a deer hunt. With Remington 150's off the shelf from Walmart, it grouped 4 shots into a measured .64 at 100 yds. I left it alone and went looking for another donor after buying 200 rnds. (all they had) off WW's shelf.
