6 13.
Very nice package. Lifetime rifle.
Although some on here would say it is useless as it is a Remington, 270 and a Leupold scope. There's nothing in North America, outside of bison and grizzly bears, that you couldn't kill with proper loads. Lots of work can be done in Africa with that rig. I didn't know the 270 was so popular in South Africa.

That is a slick looking rifle. Love that red pad. I have a rifle built by Bob Green that looks similar and has a Pacific Research stock. Love your rifle too.

Up date- First two loads seem to be plenty good for a “skinny barreled-meat rifle” . I got it on paper at 100 and moved to the steel. A few rounds of each load at 350 yards. 130 Accubond & Reloder 22 130 Ballistic Tip & Reloder 17 First donor... Second donor... Other critters found him before I did.

Very nice! I'm a fan of the 270.
I'd like to know your velocities with those loads.
