Happened upon this and the previous owner delivered it today on his way through town. Brown Precision custom with camo stock and Metaloy hard chrome finish. Octagon barrel.....22" in 270 win. Based on a Rem 700 action, of course. Cleaned it up and put on some Talley's and a VXIII 6x42. Weight as shown is 6 lbs 14 ozs.

That octagon barrel is the cat's! Never had one and never really wanted one....but I can see the appeal. Must be hard to do. And the stock is beautifully bedded....even the barrel channel is octagon....but free-floated. So now the pics.

Haha. Interco Trxus. Not sure if you can buy them any more. They're probably 8 years old but still holding up.

Thanks for the compliments. I will load up some 130 TSX's and take it out ot the lease this weekend to see how it shoots.

Nice looking rig...
stock looks extra long compared to my Brown stock. What's the LOP?

LOP is 13-1/2". Must be the thin pad that makes it look longer. It's an older build. Pad is a Pachmayr solid rubber basketweave.

Thanks. I'm partial to any flavor of Leupy 6x42. M8 with MC4 is about as low as I will go. It don't matter!

That is a very nice rifle and light also. Will you also try 150 gr loads in it? My 270 likes the 150 gr the best. Good luck. Randy

Really, really nice....and my favorite 700 bolt style to boot. I do like the design of a Brown Precision stock.

I've had real good luck with 130 TSX shooting well in 2 other 270's. So I'll stick with it. Also- I already have a supply and won't have to buy anything. That's always a plus.
