Very nice rifle there BSA.IMHO it needs a straight 4x or 6x and 130 gr Nosler Partitions and it's ready to Rock-N-Roll! You must have read my mind!! I was just thinking that this morning. My pre 64 270fwt will be shooting 150's from now on, maybe this one will just shoot the 130's ...I was actually thinking I have a chit load of Hornady 130gr. pills to burn up. This barrel is going to be broke in. It's too new looking Nice rifle! There is a good deal right now in the classifieds on fixed 4x conquest.

Thanks Matt. I know you like 270's. I'm still on the fence about them. I'm hoping my 2 fwt's change my mind.

I have 3 of them 270 WSM, 270 Weatherby mag and 270 Winchester all in good ol model 70's and oh almost forgot another 270 in a model 54.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Hey at least you didn't buy a Remington! I'm working a deal on a Classic in 30-06, it will probably stay '06 until I can get the money up for a rebarrel to 270.
These darn M70s are addictive!

Yes I do, but none of them shoot as good as my 30-06 fwt. I even sold that nice EW (I bought from you) to 444Matt, because the pre 64 shot better. I've been trying to teach my 270 fwt to shoot like my 30-06, but it's like a hard headed German: Just doesn't want to cooperate .Hey, you need to post some pics of your new rifles. You downright stole that 270 fwt!!!! I won't tell winchesterpoor that you bought 3 Borden rimrocks (pacific research) either. Your secret is safe with me buddy

I've found the trick to getting really nice rifles is to just wait on BSA to tire of them and put them up for sale.

Not up to my standards yet...: Here's 2 different loads I shot the other day just before leaving the range. It was starting to rain on my azz so I fired off 15 shots. The last shot opened the 10 shot group up to 1.40". It's coming around and the Zeiss seems to be working better than the old Burris I had on it...: 9 shots of the last 10 were "sub MOA". I'm kicking around the idea of full length bedding it like I did my CZ550 American 9.3x62mm. That rifle shoots pretty good
