A used 270 Sears M-50 with a jap 3x9 scope. Loaded with 140 grain Bearclaws. I bought the rifle for my new wife at a gun show in Denver. However, after a good cleaning I shot it. It was a tack driver and would place three shots well under an inch at 100 yards so I carried it for my first hunt rather than my minute of pie plate 742 in 30-06. I killed 2 elk with it, but both took multiple hits so I moved up to a 338 a few years later.
