Did you bed your action or just shoot as is? Also did you have any issues with fit of bottom metal/floor plate?
Like I said when I got mine it came with the plastic magazine kit and that was what was installed. It didn't come with a magazine in the box I should probably call Legacy to see if they can send me one not a big deal because I planned on using the floor plate anyway.
The problem I had was the underside of the front bedding block contacted a boss on the bottom metal when opening the floor plate. I slowly and carefully removed some material with a dremmel tool. Just wondered if you had that issue as well.

I never bedded it. I never do unless they need it. They usually don't need it. I had no issues with any fit of anything.

Looks like you're running the floor plate on yours as well.
Did yours come with both the floor plate and the DBM? I'm guessing they never checked floor plate fit on mine since the DBM was installed.
I've got to get myself some range time one of these days. I have this and 3 other rifles I haven't shot yet. I may have a problem.

The floor plate allows a few hundredths more length on the cartridge OAL before maxing out.
Not at home where my notes are, but I think the plastic mag is right around 2.825 and the floorplate is more like 2.855.

How do you feel it compares to the 308 Montana? Which do you prefer?

That seems really cheap. Are you sure it was the same stock and everything?

This. It's a Bansner, which is a VERY nice stock. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Without the link "similar" could mean anything.

Probably a Howa barreled action in a green B&C stock. Even that is a decent deal.
I really doubt a gun that retails for $900-1000 would have sold so cheaply unless there were some major issues.

Do you have to be active duty military or having served will qualify for the discount? Thanks.
