I bought a Forbes .270 from the Scheels in Mankato,MN in mid Feb. Put a 6x Leupold on it and sighted it in with Win factory 130 grain ammo. After zeroing, first three group shot 1.25". Next two, three shot groups, were both between 0.75" and 1.0 ". Will try some handloads when I get back home in early April. I hope to kill a pig or two in Oklahoma with it on my way home from Dallas which was the reason for using factory ammo initially. Weighs virtually the same as my Rem 700 Mtn rifle in 30-06 with a Bansner stock and 2.5x8 scope. Previously had a 7mm-08 NULA that I bought used. Like the Forbes better so far since the stock grip fits my hands better than the used NULA which must had a custom sized grip for the original owner.
