[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1589908, member: 18849"] Bug? Done about a couple dozen so far. My kids and grandkids help me keep the safe empty though. The 6.5/284 in a sporter contour might be what you want if you are going to carry it in the mounains. I carried a couple of 26" varmint contours out west and it sucks. The balance is worse than the weight. Here's a tip take a couple of each the prc & the 6.5/284 and see if they might feed from the 270 mag from the getgo. If your 270 is an old stagger feed finding new/used mag parts is next to impossible. Stock choice is pretty good. Boyd's laminates (which need pillars & bedding), B&C medalist spotter with full aluminum block (decent choice for mt. rifle). A host of others. The Boyd's thumbhole (I have 2) look very nice if you plan resale. But for a "jump" shooting rifle the safety operation is very awkward. Finally I would go shoot the 270 and see if is worth buying the loading equipment. There are a limited amount of good bullets available for it but for your use a mid range elk rifle it may just fit your bill & the blueing stays intact. Have fun whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
