Got a .270 XTR featherweight around 1982 was out of the box one of the most accurate rifles I’ve ever owned (factory or custom)…..loves Winchester 785 powder and Speer 130 grain hot-cor boattails. Killed a very big mule deer buck with it when I was going to Trinidad back in the 80s. Brother wanted it and wanted me to add a “mannlicher” stock and cut the barrel😬…. I did it - cut the barrel to 19.75” and added new stock - didn’t expect the accuracy to be there but got pleasantly surprised - it still liked the 785 and Speer bullets!
Picked up a .257 Roberts on here a few years ago and it shoots good but no where near that .270. Never had any problems and couldn’t recommend highly enough - really the only gun I ever needed but of course I’m a bit of a “looney”😄
