Lookie what followed me home from the local gun shop. Used, but appears new. Doesn't look like it has more than a couple boxes of ammo through it.

I'm assuming a 2008 limited edition. Pretty nice rifles.

I have one in 30/06 and have hunted for the 270 Win that was sold at the same time. I really like those deluxes. Swap out the trigger for a Timney and you have a very nice rifle.

Very nice, great snag!

Do these have the MOA trigger or the old style model 70 trigger?

It could be a twin to mine. Once put an Ernie's the Gunsmith spring in it, the rifle started shooting tiny groups with my best handloads at commercial ammo speeds.

I have two just like this one. One I will never part with and the other is new in the box. I would consider selling the NIB rifle if anyone is interested. It is a beautiful rifle but it doesn't have quite the character in the stock as the one posted above.

You are one smart man. The other poster that said he bought a Timney for his, wasted a chit ton of money. The Ernie spring is the only way to go for the MOA. I also used to have a 2008 limited edition, but it was a 300 WSM. I found it at a local gunshow for $600.00. It only had a box of ammo though it too. Damn near new..:

Nice rifle RatherBHuntin! I used to have a M70 Classic in 270 WSM, but with much plainer wood than yours.

Here's that 2008 270 you've been looking for (I was looking for the '06 and took this one home instead)...

I scored big on mine. Came with a vx3 3.5-10x40 w a boone n crocket reticle for $645 out the door. Not a scratch on it and no muzzle wear, so must be a low round count... I figured worst case scenario is i sell the rifle for a small profit and get the scope for free!😀😀

That is sweet, I would have brought it home myself. Very nice. I might sell one of my plastic stocked rifles to fund that thing.

Damn, you did good!!!! I'm glad to see some guys getting good deals on great rifles like that. I bet you will really like it.
