Harvey and Allan,
I believe Kim still hunts with a .270 that I glass-bedded for him many years ago. And we've all seen the photos of the deer he harvests every year. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: It's hard to believe the .270 has now been around for a hundred years. Time flies, etc. What makes me do double takes is referencing anything at 100 years of age that took place in the Roaring 1920s! When I was growing up my parents referred to those years as the good old days. I didn't know that the .270 was developed with a specific rifle (M54), and that the rifle was not successful. But it led to the development of the M70, so I guess that made up for the M54's failure. The article was pretty interesting to me, and pretty much in-depth. Basically, my hunting rifles were 30-'06, and primarily Remington 700s, so I had no real experience with the .270. Shame On me, eh? Harvey |
