Have fitted it with a GPO 1.5-9x44 Illuminted With drop reticle.

If factory data on weights are correct it comes in all up under 6.2 lb. But havnt confirmed on scales yet.

First impressions are its incredibly well made and trigger is a dream!

The bolt made me take a second look, its diameter had me thinking it was from a mini action 223.

now I am a died in the wool blued walnut man - but I have to admit that is very nice indeed - simple elegant and looks like quality and in one of the truly great deer caliber's the mighty .270 ( I am prepared to bet that those who mok .270 have never used one in anger - leaves 6.5 crudmore for dead in terms of knockdown )
