And that would have a warranty.....I suspect your local Gunshop will be similarly priced.

Check the auction details...."Note; sale does not include the Leupold scope and rings that are on the rifle.
Other scope will be bore sighted when fitted." and "Nikko Stirling Panamax 3-9x 40"

Yes but these Alpine models have a much better stock than the crappy plastic stock.
It's not a bargain but it's a fair price

I used some precision hunter thru a 270wsm a while ago and it shot like 1.5 inch groups. Ok you say, not too bad. So when I started reloading my own I pulled the precision hunter’s I had left and weighed the charges. Around a grain and a half variation in charge weight over a dozen or so rounds. Not that precise really. And the rifle averages about half that group with hand loads.

yep that's bad.i had a bit of an email back and forth with hornady.They blamed my chrono,i showed them results of some of an older box of 147 match ammo all within 30 FPS in the same shooting session to confirm chrono is good,they just continued with the same come back.Wankers!

Go with the 6.5c if buying factory Hornady ammo. Other ammo will be cheaper running through 243, or any other common calibre.
