Well, since you got a lemon, time to make lemonadeTime to source a Howa take-off barrel.
Scrubbed the crap out of it yesterday and hit the range, managed around 3 MOA with 3rnds of old corrosive ammo and 5rnds put it at 4MOA... Not giving up on it yet... But I'm also trying to source a .375 raptor reamer as a backup plan

It struck me that a .270 was a bit of a strange choice for a short barrel rig, but yes, I concur that its a very well made rifle. During my one outing with it thus far, I sighted it in, then reached out to 200 yards and was rewarded with a 3 shot 1.75" group (130 gr Power Points over 3031) so I'm intrigued with the possibilities with a more appropriate load. I had intended to shoot at 300, but by then I had lost the light, so it will have to wait for another day, by then I'll have some other loads to test.
Burns K-31, here ya go . . .

Very kind comment - thank you sir.
Vangaurd stainless in 338 WM. I've never owned a Weatherby, but so far have no complaints.
I was surprised when I put in on the scale after all I heard about them being heavy. It's no lightweight but 8.5 pounds scoped with a 3-10 weaver, I can live with.

Most recent is a Defiance Rebel actioned build, 30 inch frozen fiber carbon barrel chambered to 28 Nosler, McMillan
Carbon A3 Sporter stock , trigger tech trigger, HS bottom end for detachable
Mags. With a 8.5-25 Mark 4 it comes in at 10.4 pounds, or about 3 pounds less than it would be without the weight saving measures. Seems to like 175 gr LR Accubonds and a bunch of H1000.

I was so happy with the Schultz & Larsen M70 .22lr target rifle I bought from Tradex in January that I bought a CG63 6.5x55mm target rifle from them last month too. The M70 is back together and has been shot at the range once. Very nice!! The CG63 is being cleaned and the stock refinished the old fashioned way. Looking forward to getting that out to the range too when it's all done.
Why didn't you just buy a 308 in the 1st place?
The old bullet selection is always used as an argument but the fact is that not many people shoot the wide spectrum available.
I shoot a 270, 308 and two 7MMs. I only use one bullet or two weights in each.
