270 Win rifle today for Father's Day

[gatersb]

Well I finally found me something to spend my gift cards to Gander Mountain on.  Found a 270 Handi rifle for 179 before tax used.  Well I used my three gift cards and now have a rifle for the grand total of 58 dollars.  Now for a scope and ammo. Hope it shoots good considering the nut behind the rifle.

Nicely done. And in my favorite caliber. Happy fathers day.

Well went to the range today before the heat set in with less than stellar results.  I got rifle close to point of aim at 25 yards with a simmons 4x32 I had laying around.  Then I moved to 75 where it was high (4+inches). I then tried to bring point of aim down only to have my windage wander.  Oh well let my shoulder heal and I shall return.  I didnt realize a 270 14 times would make the shoulder tender.  Oh well at least I have a project to work on now.

Mine shoots great. If you reload try h4895 with 130 hor sp 1 grain under start load listed by hodgan powder. Nice load at about 2550 ft second. Going to try some 110 sierra pro hunters also.
