Just pulled out my scale. 1” of barrel is close to 1oz.

I would NEVER go shorter than 22" for a 270 Winchester barrel.
My suggestions is to just buy a Tikka T3X and call it good. For what little weight reduction you're looking for, the factory model is plenty close and you wouldn't be spending money on chopping up a good rifle. YMMV

Leupold 6x or Leupold compact 3x9…sadly both discontinued but available. Too bad their custom shop is closed too. Then you have to hope and pray that it tracks well. Something Leupold is not known for doing.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Man I wish I could afford to buy one them tikkas.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I'd start with the stock. A Wildcat or Stockys CF should save you 8+ ounces right off the hop.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

What are "killing rifle specs"
Anything will do 90% of the time...anyone living in that 10% domain?
Don't nobody tell my Ruger American with 1-4x Leupold that it ain't one of them "killin rifles" or its bullets will start bouncing off animals. won't even work on dogs at 200 meters no more.
Guess I'm askin what shooting canines proves in regard to the problem here lol. Weird flex.

taylorce1; Good afternoon to you sir, I hope that the weather on the Santa Fe Trail is tolerable and you're well. Coincidentally I was having a conversation with Casey/alpinecrick the other week and he mentioned that. Then someone and I apologize that I forget who it was said that Stuart was shipping stateside once more. It sort of looks that way? http://wildcatcomposites.com/pricing.html#content5-7oI'd call him or email and see what he says. All the best and good hunting. Dwayne

Pretty funny actually, the village idiot is always requesting people post target pics like it’s a judge of manhood, but ask the moron to back up his “truck loads of elk” and he goes off like a 3’rd grade girl. He’ll be along shortly to post his 1 millionth target pic looking for validation. Guess I'm askin what shooting canines proves in regard to the problem here lol. Weird flex.
