Thread: Thoughts on BSA CF2 270?

Yes, heavy. Had one in .243 - never thought it was heavy at the time though. Shot good. I saw the odd one in .222 during the meat days - they had an extended detachable mag as I recall.

Ive often wondered what could be achieved with a horse shoe rasp and the wool shed grinder to trim one down a bit?

I imagine someone good on the tools could trim the stock into something nice.

Garry Sutton a culler in the NW Ruahines used to trim his down with a mercator. I know because I saw him doing it in Maropea Forks and Ironbark. The only foto I have ever seen of him is in Brian Conroys last book.He had a plastic bottle cut in half and stuck to the front of his scope to keep the muck off his lens. Did a lot of bush hunting.
