I agree Eric. The 270 is very good and the only reason I like mine better than my 30-06:
I've always been a 30-06 guy and feel I have to be honest. I don't really care for the swirly on my 30-06 fwt. Why, because it is kind of slick feeling and it's heavy......:
I'll be on the lookout for another hunters compact for my 06 fwt. It's a damn shame to like a 270 over a 30-06, just because you like the stock better...
Taken from a previous post earlier in the thread... I've tried to like the swirly, but like the Mcmillan hunters compact better. I was very disappointed in the weight of the swirly. Like I said before, the damn thing weighs more than the original wood stock. For me, the main reason for going to a synthetic is to lose weight and gain strength. If you aren't doing both, it's hardly worth switching...JMHO..
