[QUOTE="Carlos88, post: 2235926, member: 116554"] My Dad. He built a 7lb .270 when he got tired of carrying his Model 70 in 30-06. For his binoculars he had B&L 7x35s, he also attached filters on his scope. All of this starting in the late 50's to late 60's. The .270 had slim forend which carried back to the buttstock. Similar to the European mountain rifles. It also had a raised comb and a palm swell with a tighter turn to the grip. It was built on a Husqvarna on the 1640 type action their steel flooplate and a #1--21" Douglas, the scope was a Leupold 3-9x42 and Weaver bases and rings. I have a pic of it somewhere. Wish he still had it but it had to be sold to fund a family urgency. He also had a Mexican model 54 in .284 Winchester in the process of being built and the gunsmith moved without notice and he never saw it again. He corresponded with Jack O'Connor every now and then. He's now too old to get around much anymore. I will miss him dearly when he is gone. [/QUOTE]
