Nice write-up Brad and even nicer rifles.
I have a 6.5lb 270 and an 8.5lb 270 both scoped with 6x36LR's.
They both have a purpose but obviously it would be wise to fill the huge weight gap and complete the deadly trifecta with a 7.5lb 270.
Sam that's funny....like most of us on here, you're beyond hope.
Merry Christmas!
