Just like there's more to a scope than the "glass" ... there's more to a rifle than what it does when sending bullets downrange ... most here are much more discerning of the overall package of a rifle ... which is one of the main reasons so many don't tote Handi-rifles around ... -WGM-

Since you've shot RH rifles your entire life a Kimber 8400 in 270WSM might be a good reason to keep shooting RH. Either that or I'd wait for them to make lefty's...................DJ Remember this is all supposed to be for fun.......................

Pugs Campfire Ranger Joined: May 2005 Posts: 17,147 Likes: 2 Freedom	Quote Pugs, what .277 caliber can you get in the 84M? None, You get to jump from .260 to .284. I guess I should have phrased that better. Is the 270 WSM a hard requirement or he willing to flex to other good calibers to save a pound? Of course that would mean changing his user name so maybe it really IS a hard requirement simply for continuity <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

Falls in your price range, and available in a slew of good calibers. As for me: 'prittyis as prittydoes'. Nothing wrong with a rifle as a tool..and the NEF qualifies. I have a bunch of wrenches, and about as many screwdrivers, and none of them have custom wood... The Wise said: "This cannot be done". The Fool came, and did it.

OP Wild270WSM New Member W Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 22 South Texas	So far I like what i been hearing about the Kimber 8400 classic. It's accurate, reliable and it's made in the US. I know that they don't make them in LH but I am willing to stay shooting with RH rifles. Second choice will be Remington 700 CDL or BDL. Third choice will be Tikka T3 Hunter or Deluxe, if i can get it in LH version I will put a muzzle brake. P.S#. I ran into this when i was searching and getting some into from a friend in another forum. http://www.gunbroker.net/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=63630113 http://www.gunbroker.net/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=63630442 but i think they are overpriced.

I am a Browning fan and own a plan A-bolt that i can't find a thing to complain about. It shoots just over a 1/2" group at 100. The new Madallion looks like a piece of furniture. Don't like the finish and don't like the BOSS. But the plain jane a-bolts look and shoot fine. ALCOHOL TOBACCO & FIREARMS Should be a covenience store, not a government agency.
