patbrennan, if you sign up with IMGUR, you can easily post pics here. It's free and easy to use...I'm sure your 270fwt is a good shooter. My smith says his 270s were his least finicky rifles and they were always accurate, even the featherweights. He used to tell me, he didn't know what all the fuss was about the 308win because his 270's generally shot better..

My 3 06's were not fussy either, maybe the folks at Win just knew how to build a rifle 😉

It is an Echols Legend. Love it so far. It is like adding a muzzle brake to the guns and feels real nice for carrying and shooting.

I just got back from an elk hunt in NM. Ended up packing my Weatherby Ultralight in 270 Win over my Semi Custom SS model 70 in 7mm magnum. I may be putting my model 70 up for sale soon. It's very nice, but the stock doesn't fit me very well.

Nothing like some nice Pre-war carbines. The top is a 22 Hornet with a vintage Lyman 2 1/2 power scope. No holes in the bridge. The second is a 30-06 with a peep sight, no holes in the bridge and a 270 with a vintage B&L Balvar scope on it and no holes in the rear bridge. Once I found one, I started collecting these things, they are not easy to find, especially in this condition...

Beautiful rifles, shrap. That Hornet has some really nice feature in the wood.

shrapnel, Nice collection of carbines.
How are the rear rings attached if there are no holes in the rear bridge? are they attached to the holes drilled in the side of the receiver for receiver sights?

There are several different mounting systems that incorporated the side screw holes that were original to the side of the action for putting on a rear peep sight. The mounts were made to utilize those holes and then the front could mount in the holes on the front of the action or the rear dovetail in the barrel. The top rifle is a 22 Hornet with a Lyman Alaskan 2 1/2 power with the front scope mounted in the rear dovetail. The bottom is a B&L Balvar scope with the scope mounts being mounted in the rear screw holes for the peep and the front holes in the action...
