 , I knew not to try and sneak one by. Notice I have been ominously quiet about this whole .270 excitation....... Yup. We is proud of you.   When I/We hunt with "The Poohbah" I believe it is written that we must "posses/carry/kill with" a 7X57mm.

It is not written..... But it is HIGHLY recommended ...... However, a skookum little .303 double fills the bill and offsets a whole safe full of .270s.....

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

A stylish .303 is the antithesis of gay....
And none are more stylish than gunner's double....

I'm Correct. I got it backwards.
I was 6 inches high and had lowered the rear down as far as it would go.
Rear goes in the direction you want the bullet to go. Front goes the opposite.
Ordered a "higher" front sight and it was still three inches high.
This was from the bench. Funny thing was when I shot it sitting, resting on a post or off a rolled up sleeping bag it was pretty much dead on. Interesting Battue, I raised the rear sight on my rifle while looking through the peep at the front bead, the notch on the now raised rear sight fell right under to cradle the bead perfectly, kinda fooks with your eye focusing/refocusing on that much potential alignment , but all looked good, I'll surely see at the bench in a couple months.  Mine was on a standard. Hope you don't have to exchange the front. The one on mine seemed to be glued in. Had to go to the smith and bum his pusher to have it start moving.

I'll keep it private you ever owned one. They really do suck, ya know. Everybody knows.
Both my 270 FWT's suck.....the life out of everything I shoot with them:) Same here GSP, those little 150 partitions are some hard quick killers at around 2900, think I've nearly seen bucks wince in pain when catching one. lol I have to say that a 150gr Nosler Partition Gold ( no longer made unfortunately) is by far the most awesome projectile I have ever seen. 90% weight retention at 100 yards and sub MOA accuracy. Devastating on game from deer to elk. Never had either take more than two steps before tipping over from yardages of 20 to 175.

Incidentally, the stock is on it's way for proper [Winchester] finishing, should be back in about a month or two. Gunner, who do U use for stocks, my gunsmith does good work but they stay loaded up with work! I would do it all myself BUT freshening the checkering up is out of my skill set... thanks and very best winpoor Wpoor, i can refreshen checkering. If you want pics I can send you some of what I have done on new stocks. Recheckering is pretty easy as the groundwork is already done, all I would have to do is run the files and freshen the lines.

Thinkin' this one will come right on Battue, we'll soon see.

I always thought an edged out 270 fwt, with 130's and a receiver sight would be a fun hunt.

There is no dust on a 7x57. I have an action and a stock blank and am considering having another one built as a stalking rifle. I don't know what else to do with it unless it was a 25/06.

A 7X57mm stalking rifle with a full quarter rib express sight filed dead on with the 175 gr Woodleigh or Partition bullets would be light years ahead of cool, and put the "E" in effective.

I'm thinking of having the caliber designated as a 275 Rigby. Hornady is making brass with that head stamp.
