The holy grail of 270's. What a fine looking rifle, the riflemans rifle. 22 inch barrel? Keep us posted on how it shoots.Quote:

Nice. I have the same one here but in 7x57. I bought it to give to a mate who'd fallen on hard times but the dopey bugger still hasn't gotten his FAL after about 8-10 years, should sell it.Quote:

Well done Ryan. It’s a beautiful thing. You’ll be lovingly caressing her for years to come.
That one should never go further north than my place.Quote:

Nice rifle. Definitely a aftermarket stock and looks like some work has been on the bolt knob as well.
My favourite wood/blue rifles, a Ruger Airhawk 177 and CZ 455 American/Weaver 3-9x38 currently wearing its .17HMR barrel.

It's had a few wee things done to it, stipled bolt knob and bolt release, floorplate release is not the factory button style either had trigger guard release addedQuote:

One niggle is the white lined recoil pad, I would swap it for an orange one, or even a steel buttplate if there is enough length of pull to do it (probably not) but really it's not a criticism, just a finishing touch...
