Fuzzy and WF ! Thank you for your replies to my babbling ! Bustercluck my apologies to you I’m not try to take away from your thread !
I have been saving some money and the thought of a lighter weight rifle is appealing , maybe even a GEF build . But I’m sort of stuck on a cartridge / caliber . I have a Remington wood stocked 3006 and the Remington American Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor so…….…. both are under 8 lbs scoped . I’m not sure I like an ultra thin barrel , I know about the accuracy going out the window after 3 shots and if you can’t bring down your quarry in 3 shots you have a problem

You should grab a Tikka T3x Lite in 270 Winchester, and get GEF to install a Wildcat stock

Good choice, I have a t3 lite in 270 with the factory stock topped with a vx3i cds and I can carry that thing all day long
HMM I think Fella would sell his tikka 270 as he wants a 280 AI rifle ! RJ
I bought mine in 7 08 Rem as I am not a big 270 Win Fan but the 270 Win is a Great performer !
