270 Win anniversary celebration

[peaceful_ruler]

This year the old faithful .270 Win has turned 100. I personally feel that this cartridge is the ultimate deer killer…whether you live in the east or west. I just finished my Tikka T3X build in .270 Win and it is a beauty! AG Composites Privateer, Swarovski Z3 3-10x42 BRH in Talley extra lows, MT Tactical bottom metal, and an ARCA/Pic rail from SRS. I also updated the trigger spring to lower the pull weight a bit. Total weight is just under 7.5 pounds so probably nearing 8# fully loaded. The only additions I’m thinking about are a sunshade and level. Three shots off the bipod gave me .66 MOA with Federal Fusion 130s this afternoon. Show us your .270 rifle…

This was my Dad’s 270 Win. I took this buck with it two years after he passed. He always considered it his “long range” rifle because he felt confident with it out to 300 yards. I miss the old man.

Bought new in 2002. M70 featherweight.
Few years ago I refinshed the stock and had it cerakoted.

I have one at the gunsmith right now, should be done April-May. It was originally planned to be a 280 Ackley but it just seemed right to build it into a 270 given the year.

I have a 270win barrel for my tikka hunting rifle. It wears a 6.5cm barrel most of the time for practice and hunting, but in theory it’s also a .270.

Nice stick of wood. Well done. That sludge finish they use hides so many nice stocks. I've refinished a couple dozen and they always look so nice with a simple clear finish.

Took this buck with dad’s 270 win 3 days before he passed in 2022. Rifle is a ruger m77 mk2, it shoots 130 gamekings the best. I knew dad wasn’t going to make the week so I decided to take his rifle out on this hunt after a buck I had been after all season. Everything came together that day and this rutted up buck soaked up 2 gamekings while sniffing out a doe. I couldn’t think of a better way to send dad off.
