Gramps,

Thanks for your input - I bought a 8400 Classic in .270 that wouldn't shoot factory ammo or a few handloads into a pot. Until I seated the bullet way out to an OAL of 3.395" and, boom, it suddenly turned into a tack driver!

Have yet to lay hands on or shoot a new Model 70. Suspect I'll pick one up someday, if they chamber a featherweight in the Bob it will be a given!
