Understood Billy, that's why I said it "might" qualify... the LA Fieldcraft is a fine rifle with its no.2 contour. In a 270 I don't think it can be beat, but I'd cut it to 22 or 23".

But, though the OP didn't mention it, the 6.5x55 might be the best rifle Barret makes!

PS, is it snowing at your end of the state? 12*F here and coming down sideways... spring, sheesh.
