[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2093956, member: 67552"] I just started with my latest sheep gun. I found a Weatherby Mark V SBGM in .270Win. Added an Accubrake, topped it with a Vortex Razor 3-15x42 (gen 1 with 1" tube) in dual dovetails and it ended up 2oz. shy of 7 pounds. I am pretty excited. 20 year old rifle that was broken in, went on one mule deer hunt in Montana and then retired to a collection. I ran a ladder yesterday afternoon with 140 B-Tips and RL19 and RL22 and had positive predictable results. I also shot some 140 Accubonds that had been loaded for a previous 270 and was pretty happy with those groups. Nice to have a mid-winter project. The rifle and scope both came off the clearance rack for a very affordable ultra-light. I may take the Accubond load to 400 this weekend if the weather is OK. It put 5 holes in a .8 at 100 with an average velocity of 3008 and ES of 14. [/QUOTE]
