I agree that the .270's appear to be the scarcer model. I all the M50's I've seen at gun shows, only one has been a .270. I have four right now that are all 30-06 except that was (GASP!) a .270. Didn't realize they were scarce and it's now a 7x57 with custom stock. One of my favorite rifles. I would gladly give $450 for a .270. I agree that the trigger should be changed. It really is a Mickey Mouse affair one what it otherwise a very nice rifle. I think the stock is a bit clubby but nothing that a little file work and sandpaper won't cure.
They also make the basis for a nice custom rifle should you so desire. If you decide to get it, PM me and I'll make you copy of the owner's manual.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
