270 Makeover x2 - Complete - 03/17/16
Just finished round two of the 1 rifle for North America .270. The B&C stock felt bulky in my hand and I just couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to swap out the barrel and put on a little more scope.. Barrel length and chamber is setup around the 140 accubond...goal is 3000 fps, with accuracy and non max loads. That should get me to 700 on a 1 turn CDS dial.
NO I don't hunt that far, just nice to be able to have that for the range and play around with...Most of my shots in the field are 400 and under.
(Coincidentally, I have almost this exact build but on a 700 action for a 30-06 loaner rifle going on as well.)
FN Winchester 70 Supergrade Action
Timney Trigger
Shilen SS Match #3 barrel finished at 24 3/4" - requested more shank exposed
McMillan Classic, Edge fill stock
Talley Steel Low Rings/Bases
Leupold 4.5-14x40 30mm, CDS, Windplex Reticle
Rifle is bedded, floated, and Timney at 2 pounds.
Rifle with Scope weighs 8 pounds even...
