Finally got my Nosler Liberty M48 in 270 wsm scoped with a Leupold 4.5-14x40 A/O cds and dialed in at the range. Weighing in at a pinch over 8.5lbs which makes it the lightest big game rifle I own....She shot SMOA with 140 NAB which made me very happy.

I chron’d a random selection of my rounds with an avg of 3115 FPS from a 24” tube which I will use for having a CDS turret made.

I will say this...The little biotch has some mule hoofs that kicked the schit outta me. Definitely, Not a Gay Rifle! It’s gonna be a solid horn getter without a doubt. 😎

That’s like saying: “This is my lover Trystan... he’s gay, I’m not.”

Good round.... good set-up..... still gay.

Mine is about the same, except it’s a 700, same scope, same bullet. The 700 is a bit heavier,so it doesn’t kick much. I shot a few pigs and an Aoudad so far.

Gay at one time meant "having or showing a merry, lively mood" or "bright or showy", so one could say to be gay is to be happy. Now the pundits of fecal admiration and lip service couldn't actually describe the practices of homosexuals, so in the best Orwellian fashion, they adopted the word 'gay' as a subterfuge to avoid more descriptive terms and words. Naturally, our accommodating culture where offending some fringe minority is seen as a cruel crime against the defective, would adopt this evasive practice. Therefore, let not your heart be troubled, the .270 WSM can be both a gay cartridge and the shooter made gay by its ownership and performance, with the result that happiness is the product.

John, I made this into a coming out party for all to be gloriously happy and gay...DogShooter is still looking for the light switch in his closet to illuminate his 7mag and realize it may need a new little friend...

Hanco, What’s this? You bring wood to this party...Cheap bas-tard! Very nice looking rifle. The maxi pad recoil tamer may also contribute to the gentle touch she delivers to you..Bring chips and beer next time, please. 😊

You will be devastated.....”when it comes out of the closet”! grin Though it should make a very nice hunting rifle, congrats! memtb

Nice caliber and rifle. The .270 is a great cartridge and the .270 wsm is even more versatile. I have to wonder about anyone who would call this caliber gay. I don't think any caliber is gay but I do think that being concerned about your shoulder and recoil when they should be more concerned about dispatching an animal in quickest humane way possible is very gay. Oh I flinch cause the rifle kicks to much. Gay Gay Gay. LMAO. laugh

Have fun with it and nice choice!!!

Hey Beaver10 I wasn't picking on you at all. I've got a .270 wsm Browning Abolt. I shoot 150 grain Nosler Partitions and they are potent. Every deer I've shot through the lungs, no bones except rib, they don't take more than 1 step. Shot a lot of deer with this gun only had one doe that ran about 75 yards when shot through the lungs.

Judman, I just posted a few rifles to the image gallery under the title “Judman Shoot’n Irons”. I’ve downloaded several Apps to my iPad but can’t figure out how to get my pics to load on a thread...Dumb NW boy! Mark

I love this 'gay' cartridge conversation. Have gotten a many a laugh reading the back and forth ribbing amongst the 'usual suspects' on The Fire. I have never been a fan of the 270 although it is undoubtedly one of the best all around cartridges ever developed. I have owned a few 270s and killed a few deer with them, but just cannot maintain an interest in them. My lack of enthusiasm comes primarily from the fact that there are so many of them out there and I prefer to carry the less common calibers and rifles....just for the fun of it.

My latest infatuation....a 6.5X54 M-S complete with a period correct Hensoldt scope. I just cannot imagine anyone considering it 'gay'!
