[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 1565334, member: 105681"] That's a blacktail buck from the northern California mountains where I live. My profile picture is another black tail as well. For my Tikka I got a light contour 1:8 twist match grade barrel from K&P barrels. My smith did the rest. Fluted the bolt, carbon fiber handle, lighter springs in the trigger which is now at 2 lbs. It's really turned this rifle into a beast! The 270 wsm with 156 grain hammer hunters or 170 grain Berger eol at 3000 fps is a special breed. I have a 6.5 and 300 win mag. Gathering dust because this 270 wsm is the perfect blend of flat trajectory, accuracy to 1000 yds, ease to reload and all in rifle under 8 lbs....you really can't beat it! I still take my 300 wm with 200 grain bullets for elk into grizzly country or areas not quite so rugged or brushy as it is 10 lbs and has a 28" barrel but it's not the easiest thing to pack around.
