Mr. O'Conner mounted his Mountaineer with Tilden rings. I have Buehler bases -- and I am looking for the right rings. Last edited by Bushmaster1313; 03/21/13.

I would like to be next owner of yours, out of 19 centerfire guns I own and shoot the .270 is the one I have never owned nor harvested a whitetail with. I have seen many deer killed with the .270 and do not know why Ive never owned one.

Now go hunting with it, that is of course after you get it bored to 280 The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment. � WARREN G. BENNIS

Does anyone know what reticle was in JOC's Mountaineer? "...aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one." - Paul to the church in Thessalonica.
