It has been I the woods every season since it was made sometime in late '70s or early '80s and will continue to see duty along with an '84 Model 700 in 270 that I acquired about a month ago. The 270 will probably see a gloss fixed 4x33mm Leupold.

Mine is a twin. The finish was a bit worn and getting yellow so now it’s hand rubbed oil finish and I took the liberty to remove and tuck away the white spacers. Topped it with some Talley mediums and a Leupold 3X9 I had laying around. I loaded up some 130 And 150 Hornady interlock FB’s and she bug holes both at 100 yards with ridiculous ease. I think I’ll be OK with the boring old 270 in a wood stock. It’s not a Creedmoor or PRC but I think I’ll do alright 😀


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
