[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 244366, member: 2580"] The BAR's have a lot of steel in them and are gas operated. Felt recoil from a .270 Win with factory loaded 130 gr bullets will be unexpectedly mild. If you load down too much, the rifle may not function well. It should shoot 1-2 moa with ammo it likes. The 130 gr bullet is just about optimal for the .270, but it should do well with 150 gr also, and recoil will still be moderate in the BAR. Very fine rifles with acceptable accuracy at normal ranges. Good hunting, Tom [/QUOTE]
