I haven't bought new rifles for many years. I'm one of those right handed guys that shoot left handed. Anyway, I had a Pacemaker implanted in August and can never shoot left handed again. I sold seven very good rifles via the newspaper in two days. This gave me a perfect excuse to buy new rifles. I'm sorry to admit it, but I fell for all the hype I've been reading in Rifle related magazines. I just had to have the "massive" claw extractor so got a CZ & Ruger, then I had to have the accurate Tikka. That's not the end of it, I also had to have some of the legendary calibers such as 6.5X55 & 257 Roberts. My wife kept me from buying a 7X57. The rest of the story: The CZ is an OK rifle, but to heavy, I didn't like the plastic on the Tikka even though it was somewhat accurate, the little Ruger I loved because of it's feel, looks and features, but it wouldn't shoot worth a hoot (Rifle is currently being evaluated at Ruger). What to do with deer season starting 11-08? I saw an add in the paper selling a Remington 270 ADL for $344 at Oshams. Well folks I'm here to tell you that it is the most accurate I've ever owned, cheap plastic and all. With the traditional 4831 loads it shot less than two inch groups at 100 yards. Just out of curiosity I shot some Win. 760 loads that I had made up in 1969. All three shots of three different groups touched with the perfect, small, cloverleaf. I'm ready for the hunt now and out of the rifle buying business, I think?
