The .270 Winchester is one of those cartridges where today I probably would not go out and build a custom rifle for it. No need, I already have an exceptional Ruger #1B in the same, and it is very, very accurate. More than once put 3 in the same hole at 100 yards. Think it's 8 for 8 on bang flops for deer & hogs. It also has really nice wood, and is semi-collectible being made in 1976. Obviously, this is one of the ones that got an exceptional barrel, and if I found another one close to the same serial number range, I'd grab it without hesitation.
On the bucket list for it is trying 130s with Reloader 26 - which some have discouraged. With the Ruger's 26" barrel I have seen 130's go in the high 3100s, with Reloader 22. Work up, these are not light loads.
It probably would be the last centerfire rifle I'd sell.
