Congratulations on a nice snag.
Last year, Tide Jr, and I were talking about a new rifle for him. We discussed different cartridges, and he said he wanted to try a .270 for awhile.
I picked up an old Remington Sportsman 78 off Gunbroker a couple of weeks back, and I've been getting it set up for him to use this fall.
He turns 18 in just under 2 weeks, so I guess this will be his birthday present.
