I built one on an Arisaka action years ago. Nothing fancy, cheap Gunparts barrel.This was for once in a life time sheep hunt on Pikes Peak. I killed nice ram with it at about 400 yards then gave it to my niece for a whitetail rifle . It worked about as good as any 06 I had . I don't think it fell out of favor.Today's rifle buyers are just lured to all these XYZ chamberings by the market hype.

I liked the 270 because it would shoot most bullets and most weights to the same POI without much fuss

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
