He's sell them for $1,250 each + shipping, but would make a deal for a buyer of all 5. If interested, shoot me a PM.

I had a 270 and it shot great. Just a little bigger and heavier than I liked….still should have kept it. Very accurate…consistently Regards, Nick- Georgia

I find they're difficult to hold steady-to-aim. I guess that's why I like HS Precision, The Mato, Steyr SSGs, etc. I shoot them much better.

They are the Dakota 97 action, round body, cheaper to produce than the 76. They made them for Beretta for a very short time. An excellent all around rifle in a CRF action which is becoming rare these days.
