A good friend had a 280 Improved made for his son on a 700 MR action. The original rifle was a .270 and when the "new" rifle was complete, my friend gave me the .270 barrel. The original rifle shot very well so I decided to make rifle using the barrel out of parts I had. I had a nice Remington M78 action along with a mountain rifle stock sitting here. I found screws, bottom metal, guts and a tombstone safety Walker trigger my son had tuned. We stuck all the pieces together and I now have another .270 that I will take on its maiden voyage this fall. I topped it with a 1.5-5 VX3 Leupold in Talley rings I had sitting here. It is my favorite scope for use here in the thick brush. It makes for a light, handy rifle.
It shoots extremely well like most all .270's.....
