I couldn't pass it up. Interarms Mark X in decent shape for $250. But it's a 270. I've never had one before and I'm scared that it means I'm gay now. And I don't want to be gay. If I rebarrel it to a better caliber, would I be not gay again?

If you rebarrel a .270 to something else, it means you're bi rather than strictly gay.

You're welcome, happy to help.

Tom

Take your 270 and go kill stuff. You're not gay. It's not like you're shooting a 7X57 and wearing a leopard print thong.

Ernie

No. It just means you have to squat instead of standing up, when you shoot it.

Don't listen to him , re-barrel and re-use the barrel to hold tomato plants up in the garden and your manliness is safe....

Next thing you know you will be putting matching pillows to your leopard print thong on the couch.

Re-barrel it to 338-06 is your hope to re-claim your man card.

Bufaf: NOTHING homosexual (or metro-sexual!) about owning a Rifle in 270 Winchester caliber!
In fact its a "manly" thing to do.
Enjoy your Interarms 270 I hope it serves you as well as my several 270's have served me.

The ones I've had, kicked like hell.

No, The .270 won't make you gay by itself, But...

If you paint the stock possum pecker pink,You're definitely gay.

You saying it takes a real man to come out of the closet with a .270...?

Or wear a pink tie...?



DF

That explains the way you type your posts on here.....

he 270 alone may not , but you are in CO

I have owned and shot a .270 for over 50 years, same gun, many many critters. Does not mean I'm gay.

Go ahead and shoot it and be happy, sweetie.

PLEASE do NOT leave me that 270 in your will!

Once done, cannot undo. Redemption is long path.

Yoda

If you have to ask, the answer is yes!

You may not be gay, but you sure are demonstrating some *curiosity*.

Next he'll be putting beans in chili....not really.

Nope, just shows uncommon sense of practicality.

Leave as is and it will serve you well.

If you rebarrel to a 7x57, ignore line 1.

Gay no! But please see "Walking Dead" thread!!

<sigh>

not gay



although I might allow that a 22" barrel in .270 is slightly effeminate.

if you have to ask that question, you probably know the answer already.

Kings shoot 270's.

Queens shoot everything else.


Old Indian proverb.




The mighty and powerful 270.....

AKA the laser beam of instant death.

Its actually nice to see so many .270 owners "coming out".

Its time we celebrated diversity.

And Rainbows.

And Unicorns.






<snork!>

Sam, I mentioned on another thread that its OK if you shoot a .270


Like riding a Vespa....you aren't where anyone can see you doing it...

Nothing wrong with a .270, it's what I bought for the wife.
Then it came with a recoil pad, I loaded 130's down to about 2700, and it has no more recoil than a .243.
Besides Remington LH700 BDL's in .270 for under four hundred bucks, Leupold 3x9 attached, are hard to walk away from, even if it was 6 or 7 years ago.

I love my 270's




I admit it. I'm gay. I'm a lesbian trapped in a mans body. an incurable box eating carpet licker.

Poobs, even though you won't openly admit to loving the 270 I still love you man.

In a very non gay way.

You are if you're buf.

Your fears are justified, but buying it did not make you gay. Must have been gay beforehand - you bought it.

I suggest loading 100 gr hp loads and take it to a prairie dog town. Then you can call the .223 shooters gay.
After the barrel pukes screw on a 35 Whelen barrel.
whelennut

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

270 rules!

May be time for a McRainbow. In a Hunters Edge, of course...

DF

This^^^^.

You left out leopards.

ZING!!!

Ed

Years ago, wearing your shirt collar turned up was telling the world something.
Now shooting a 270?

Carry on.

Just because you don't shoot a .308 doesn't make you gay. Fat stubby bullets with heavy recoil is not a advantage.

I'm feelin' the love too Sammo....




In a very non-gay way....

laughing



Beer time!

Cheers!


Just don't drink it with your pinky raised.....

Tell that to my .458WM and its 500 gr RN solids.

BTW, welcome to the 'Fire!

Ed

I've never owned one but am .270 curious

And you'd like to "experiment"...right?

I would never stoop to the point of calling someone gay.....but...if that were a Rem 700, I'd say you'd rather hear a fat boy fart than a pretty girl sing!

But gay?.......no way!

You two need to get a room at the Rainbow Motel

That old P17 Enfield in 30-06 is looking better all the time, I'm not too secure in my rifle selection

What Uncle York says is true, he even sits on the bar stool with the legs on the floor.

.270 is like that kid in school that was naturally good at everything! Haters gonna hate!

Mike, unashamed lover of all things .277

Damn!!!! Queer as a 3 dollar bill!!! Now ya GOTSTA buy a Sharps 45/110 for penance!!!

I'd love too, actually about to sell off some instead of adding too!

Mike

I wouldn't worry about shooting a bath house special.

If you shoot it once, you're not gay- just "experimenting". Shoot it twice and you're gay.

There is no better caliber.

Shooting a 270's.Is
Like Having Sex With A Fat Girl. Your Happy While Your Doing It, But You Just Don't Want Your Friends To Find Out...

Now that is funny! The infamous Dos Equis guy would probably say something like, "I don't often drink Dos Equis, but when I do I shoot a 270."

Yes.

What's love got to do with it?

This is funny stuff!
Hank

I would say your comfortable in your manhood. The guys shooting the big cal. are over compensating for something.

or corn


who in the hell puts corn in chili? wtf

wanting to stay in the closet
and minus 10 man points also

Chuck Norris ate a 30-06 for lunch and $hit out the 270, nuff said! lol

You "sir" are gay.

As in Hamlet, I think some of you guys "doth protest too much".

Makes me wonder.

We didn't have any kids that were "naturally good at everything" but we had one that was really light in his loafers. We didn't hate him, but noticed that he used an oddball pink pencil - just LOVED that thing. We took it to the mech shop and miced it - yep - dia. was .277.

<snork> that's funny

You're 'ballsy' to admit it!!

If you are in college, and IF it was after final's week, and IF there was either a keg or Everclear involved, and IF there were no women present when you got the 270... You may not be REALLY gay.

If not, well, quit rubbing all our faces in it. We know you are, we just don't want to see it...
