18.5” Kimber Hunter .270 !!!!

Dang, that did loose a good bit of speed. Should be easy to carry, though.

It’s only 75 fps slower with 3.5” of barrel difference. That doesn’t seem bad to me.

I guess yours is slower across the board than my 270win. My 150 grain Partitions are a touch over 3000fps out of a 22” barrel.

How fast is it without the suppressor?

 

[83cj-7]

I’m sure I could make them faster, but accuracy trumps speed and my ES is single digits.
At 18.5”, I don’t ever plan on shooting it without the suppressor!

This little 270 loves 150 Partitions but groundhogs don’t share the same opinion.

Lies. I read on here that anything less than a .30 cal magnum won’t penetrate groundhog shoulders. Or something like that

I know I was a bit under gunned, but I got lucky.

Wow! Thats awesome!

I would take that all day long. I shoot everything suppressed. Only rifle I’ll own going forward with a 26” barrel is (1) 30cal magnum for more open terrain. I built a 20” 300wsm that is hammer in every aspect.

You must be wealthy to varmint hunt with Partitions!

 

[83cj-7]

Lol, not wealthy and I was extacly varmint hunting. Just the tool I had in my hand at the moment.

 

[83cj-7]

Well, this rig has already accounted for 3 deer, 1 turkey and 1 groundhog so far this year. I’m impressed with the Partition, it’s accurate and nothing has taken a step after being hit with it.

My 18” 30-06 is badass too. Next gun will be a hunter which will get shortened up like yours.

 

[83cj-7]

For you guys looking to shorten up and thread a Montana or Hunter in .30 cal, be careful because there isn’t enough meat in the barrel to be truly safe for suppressor use. I know people do it and use a 7/16 thread, but most gunsmiths and suppressor companies will tell you that it’s not safe.

I sent mine to Shaen, he built on a shoulder flare so I can direct thread 5/8x24. It’s great.

Interesting

Got any pics? I’ve reached out to him a couple times since your other thread without any luck getting a response. Very curious to see what he does!!

Swapped out scope from a Leupold 3.5-10x40 to a VX5 3-15x44 with the B&C. I’m still shocked how accurate this rifle is so I decided it deserved better glass.

Here is the weight breakdown:
Rifle 80oz (5lbs)
Scope 20oz
Suppressor 12.75oz
Rings and Level 3oz
Stock cuff 1.25oz
Total 117oz (7lbs 5oz)

Love it when taking a risk like that pays off. 2850 with 150 SST's can do a lot of work, especially in a .227 caliber.

Good job!

 

[AlpineAssassin907]

That looks badass brotha. I have multiple hunters, I have a 270 as well, giving me some ideas there!
