Its been a while since I've done anything really stupid so I figure I'll go ahead and get it over with and sell this rifle. CAS managed the project and I purchased from him. It doesn't get much better for a lightish M70, that I can assure you. Winchester Model 70 action, blueprinted Rock #3 fluted, 10 twist barrel in 270 Winchester Williams Extractor Williams Steal Bottom Metal Brown Precision Fiberglass Stock Talley Lightweights Graphite Black Cerakote on action Titanium Cerakote on barrel Polane-T stock paint Weighs 7lbs 8oz as pictured, and is one of the best handling rifles I have ever known. Shoots everything I've tried into less than an inch. $1800 ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/charleys/Rifles/270-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/bxroads/IMG_1476.jpg)

bxroads,
Has the Alabama heat got to you? Do you know what you are about to do? That is one fine rifle!!!! Is this a sign of a NULA coming?

You are going to wake up tomorrow and wish you had not done this...

The rifle doesn't shoot, that's why he's dumping it. It isn't a remmy, pac-nor #1, Mcswirley, ergo it has to go....LOL

Please send it to me and I'll keep it for you until you come to your senses. Then in a few years I'll send it back to you once you've proved that you're sane again. Heck, I'll even pick up the shipping to the 50 states.

nice rifle.. I'd keep that rifle. You never know, they might come out with an A-Max in .277 and the ol' 270 might become cool.. haha

Beleive it or not, funds have already been received. This might be a new campfire record for turn around.
