LITTLE used Black Synthetic Stocked .270 Winchester Browning X-Bolt Stainless-Steel Bolt-Action Rifle. (Check out the as new condition of the Safety Red Dots etc.).
21 ¾” (553mm) Barrel, factory screw cut at 14x1mm Metric. Plenty of suitable Sound Moderators readily available in stock to match. Even Browning’s own Iridium options which offer EXCELLENT Value and Performance. Stock / Trigger Pull measures 13 ¾” (350mm) with extending packers available to order if needed too. Overall, the rifle is currently 42 ¾” (1085mm) and tips scales at 6 ½ Lbs dead (2.947 Kg).
As detailed, this is the full Stainless version so Barrel, Action and Bolt. Along with matching Trigger, Guard and Magazine Housing. Even the Sling Studs. All offering up Great Contrast against the Black Stock and matching Detachable Rotary Magazine. That finishes perfectly in line with the stock contour too so nothing to snag etc. Textured Grip Areas for positive hold in all conditions. Cold, Warm, Dry or Wet. There is one single small blemish to the finish approx. 2” (50mm) forward of the rear sling stud and circa ¾” (20mm) from the bottom. That is about it by way of anything to detail.
Treble Lug Bolt Lock up for perfect bolt – bore alignment too. This is also an ORIGINAL Made in Japan – Miroku Version which most people prefer.
As the saying goes: to every ‘up’ there is always a ‘down’. In the case of .270 rifles the ‘cost’ was one or both of the following:
Where .243 or .308 etc. go bang a .270 DOES go BOOM! The second ‘debt’ to pay was often SEVERE recoil. Many ended up with at best a bruised scope eye. At worst blood running down. Often at the cost of even reasonable accuracy. HOWEVER, such was the knock down power shot placement did not need to be perfect.
Hence why Estate Stalkers, Guides and many Riflemen ‘took the pain’.
HOW times have changed. With that change now everyone and their dog can have a moderator. No longer is permission even required. The TWO things sound mods do is CUT the noise PLUS Seriously Reduce Recoil.
As such the .270 IS now as ‘tame’ as any other general calibre but RETAINS its FANTASTIC Terminal performance down range. Hence my initial comment (that I HAVE been spouting for at least ¼ of a century). Someone within the media PLEASE drive a resurgence for this one!
Other than that, and for anyone who already knows;
