I ordered this .270 Win rifle through a "good-buddy" part-time dealer, who sells guns to friends and acquaintances. She's been my favorite C.F. since. She shoots as good as any hunting rifle I've ever shot. It's pillar-bedded and free-floated, so maintains zero quite well. It "aint" bad to look at, either!Out of state son-in-law used my Rem factory Stainless 700 in .270 Win, after-market Timney trigger, adjusted for cold weather hunting, a little less than 3 lbs. It's action and a few inches of barrel are epoxy-bedded. About 10 years old, she shoots sub-MOA and has killed several Maine deer in the Central Maine area, where I live. Most have been on family property. I learned that scopes are at least as important as the rifle, so use mostly Leupolds. This is a 3-9X. The factory stock is well-figured, but not showy. My son-in-law shot a nice deer with it last year at about 100 yards down a woods road. He said that the rifle fired and he saw the bullet hit exactly where the crosshair was at 100 yards. I said, "Of course, where else would you expect it to hit? (You and I both know that our rifles are adjusted to hit about 1 1/2" high at 100 yards, but you can't tell "exactly" where the bullet hits when recovering from offhand-recoil. Still, it was surely, close to where it was sighted-in.) You may not remember my telling about shooting a running buck at 100+/_ yards, left-handed with this rifle...from my tree-stand a few years ago. It continues to please all who shoot it.

It’s great! I don’t shoot everyday so i couldn’t justify $300 more for the Henry. I liked the action better anyway. I payed $600 it’s worth every pennyMan if we could find a threaded 45 Colt lever action rifle at dealer pricing we'd try it out for the fun of it. 250gr at 800fps with a big suppressor would be sick. How do you like the Rossi?
Oh my goodness! ....what a beautiful rifle!View attachment 1164468

Just finished - well, almost finished - this .54 caliber flintlock kit today, and I figure it's going to be my favorite rifle for the foreseeable future.
I'm not skeered to click around on the internet. In my bravery, I found that the base price is $5K, and then you can start adding options that are probably pretty pricey themselves.Gorgeous....... I'm afraid to even look up what these go for. Congrats!
Would you like to sell?Marlin 1893 in .35-55 that I bought for $25 in 1963.
Is that a Cowan rest?
