Not to derail the thread-- I acquired an all original Gen 1 .270w this summer, first trip to the range will be next week. I did do some chamber measurements and compared it to a custom built .270w (saami reamer)-- the chamber tolerances were very loose and it was throated .175" longer (likely due to runout). That said-- I've heard and many claim the Gen1 rifles are shooters. Will report back soon--
Free bump!
