    Try shooting a tikka t3 270, you’ll have the exact same experience. Actually I take that back, avoid any opportunity to shoot that rifle in that caliber! It was truly savage, kicked liked a mule and no shortage of muzzle jump. I’m a fan of the T3 but that experience reinforced my resentment of 270s

    Given that some guys will be looking at one of those to replace their AR's with, what was wrong with it?

    Zastava .270 synthetic. It hurt to shoot. I would honestly say it kicked more than a Brno 375.

    Three shots on A4 paper at least 6” apart in three dimensions from 20 metres....I’m not that bad a shot....

    Talked to my LGS couple of weeks ago about it a he mentioned they were the new hot seller... said had one , never again. Told him why, said something to do with how barrel is attached to breech.

    Would happily own another one now.
    Fuck thats keen going for a rem mag first!

    My old flatmate got one for his first rifle, well before I met him. The flinch this guy had was just amazing, even when using a 22. First time he shot a tahr, it was at 50m, no rush, aaaand got it in a front hoof. His mate then caught it on the stumble with an opensighted AR. Still thinks it was the bees knees choice

    Marlin xt 22 magnum, it was absolute junk. Failed to feed, failed to eject the screws holding in the trigger vibrated loose, it was just pure crap.
