Custom trigger guard by DIProducts. I modified the trigger and shortened the magazine. It has a Neidner butt plate and a Weaver 4 X 16 Variable scope with dot on Talley rings. I also made a custom tuner. Total weight with scope is 7 lbs. 4 oz. The gun will be used for short range varmint hunting, shooting in local rimfire matches and general-purpose woods wandering. Dick Wright You are a true craftsman super nice project.....look forward to future pics!

However, I was so happy to get the stock back that I had to put the gun together and get out the camera. Nice wood, Eh? Dick Wright

Scope to be added and it will be ready to shoot. This is a dual-purpose rifle and will be used for hunting and, also, shooting in local rimfire benchrest matches. The scope is a Weaver 4 X 16X with a competition dot which is suitable for both.

Got the idea to build a 270 when I noticed that every time an ammo scare comes about, 270 ammo is still obtainable (probably thanks to ingwe). Specs: - Rem 700 ADL ($300 new from Academy) - Manners EH6 - Gretan firing pan and shroud - PTG Aluminum Trigger Guard - Bolt handle by Phoenix Custom Rifle - Bolt fluted by Long Rifles Inc - DNZ Game Reaper mounts Still to do: - Swap the Ziess Conquest to a lighter weight scope (probably Leupold) - Have rifle cerakoted (will happen after deer season) Currently sits at 7 lbs 10 oz with scope. If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ...
