    The CF2 is a big lump of a rifle that has no personality at all.

    Have had an offer of $2500 anytime I want to sell my mint Hunter. Hope one of my grandsons looks after it to keep it in current condition

    How bloody true. Tell that to an 18yr old boy who got sucked in to buy a CF2 270 many many moons ago. Sure it damaged my hearing. A concrete post is lighter. Worst piece of engineering ever designed. Happily go to prison for grinding up into small pieces every one I see.

    I'd agree that the CF2 may not be the sleekest or best balanced rifle in the world, but at 8-ish pounds bare rifle (??) that's about the correct weight for a .270 Win.

    I have killed a few roe deer with a stutzen and double set trigger model in 222. CF2 is a big action for that small round.

    I don't like rifles when the action size is generic, ala Tikka. An action built around a cartridge/family of cartridges is far more favourable, aka Sako L461, Howa mini, for a multitude of reasons - size/weight of action, bolt travel.

    It becomes even more bizarre when you find Dorkus referring to himself as a" throbbing member". A forum for all tastes...
