[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2300817, member: 63925"] IF you could find an older Sendero in standard bolt face, swap out barrel to .270 Win, 1:8 twist, longer throat for longer higher BC bullets, 26-27", Light Palma contour, Triggertech trigger and you would have one heck of a budget build. The magazine max COAL is 3.65" so longer rounds will feed nicely. The H-S precision stock is basic platform that still works fine. I am ALWAYS looking for one but crazy pricing these days. My "budget build" is on a 700LA, Magpul stock, standard hinged floor plate, 27", 1:8, .290 free bore, 5R, Light Palma, Triggertech, Athlon Midas Gen2 4.5x27x50. I am shooting a 156HH at 3200 and 0.4MOA so it seems to be good marriage for the "old man" cartridge. Although its not a CM 😱, it can hold its own or even better with the heavier bullets now available for it. I have also shot the Berger 170EOL and it is no slouch at close to 3100 with RL26 either. Just have not done any range time with it yet to find the 170 "load". I have shot the 175TGK to 2900+ but the long bearing surface is hard to overcome. The 160 Partition is interesting for possible close work. The 150ABLR and 150 AB have some promise but hard to get past the 156HH performance. The 165ABLR needs lot more work for me to consider when the Berger 170EOL shoots better. The .270Win in Savage 110C was first rifle I bought at 18 years old and still have it! Yeah, am older than dirt. Never stopped liking this cartridge since then. It is my "Go To" when I reach into gun safe. There is a sense of "comfort" I feel with it that is hard to explain. Just feels "right". [ATTACH type="full" alt="3779D210-1DC8-4251-BA63-978F0B9ECD61.jpeg"]301457[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
