Have two A 270 & 308 which I belive was the one pitcured in the American Rifleman. Have shot the 308 but not the 270 as a broken extractor has put an end for now. With 180gr factory it is a stiff bugger as it really seems to push back smartly. I did notice a caution on the factory box not to use in lever actions, guess they put a little extra in for the game there. The action is smooth as silk like a Sauer but both of mine are Sako style extractors not the Mauser Claw type I believe model 85 is there number. Trade embargos and unrest put a end to there importation but they were very well made preformed as well as anything available in thier price range. They also built a target rifle on a Mauser design action which shot lights out in the right hands.
