[QUOTE="imartin, post: 1601241, member: 106328"] The 270 Win was introduced by Winchester in the model 54 in 1925 iirc. I have a 1926 Model 54 chambered for this great round which I inherited from my my wife's grandfather who passed away before I really got to know him. I know there were many PA deer & bear, WY mulies and elk taken with the rifle. The receiver was drilled and tapped for bases and optics were mounted before I received it. I had the trigger cleaned up a bit and the stock refinished in order to keep her going for another 100 years. Other than that it is all original. It currently is one of the only guns I will take into the PA woods for deer and bear. My current load is RL22 behind a 160 gr partition for 2700-2800 fps and its a tac driver. This is one I will never let go of. If I can find some of the old photos of my wife's grandfather with the rifle and the animals he took, I will post them if anyone cares to see. Will try to get a pic of the rifle itself too. [/QUOTE]
