Brad, did you shoot any critters with that rifle? Did you try any factory loads?
You do have another 270?
I have a Nula in 30-06 and a couple of KImber Hunters,a 6.5 Creedmoor,and a 280 Ackley,but I was thinking about a Fieldcraft in 270.
No critters shot, never tried any factory loads. I literally loaded 25 rounds of the load in the photo, took it out to my range, sighted-in at 25 yards, 100, 325 and 225 yards (B&C Reticle), then shot one group at 100 yards (the one shown). 12 total rounds shot, then I took it hunting. I passed on two different 5pt bulls and finished out my season with no more shots than the original twelve at sight in.
IME Accubonds typically don't shoot very well, so a sub 3/4" group is noteworthy. I have no doubt this sucker will shoot, but my cheap Norwegian nature just can't justify having 4 lightweight rifles.
I'm torn selling this one... I've come to really admire the Fieldcraft with a no.2 contour. The buggy whip barrels on the regular Fieldcrafts hold no interest for me.
No I don't have another 270, but have a SS M70 action on hand I'm going to build one on.
