Used Model 70 270 WSM. Shoots 140 gr accubonds at around 3150 fps with 65 grains of 7828. clover leaf groups, probably .25 MOA average. Also groups just as well with 130 gr sierras, 62 grains of 4350 at around 3200 fps.
A gunsmith performed a trigger job on this when it was new, trigger feels great, and breaks very light. I recently put a pull gauge on it and it consistently breaks right at 1 LB. Ive never had it misfire, and I drop tested it several times. It is the classic model 70 trigger so if its too light for you, you can turn it back up a bit. Breaks like glass with ZERO over travel. Have to feel it to know how good it is!
The bolt was jeweled as well but it has worn some, I think maybe it was done too light because it didn't hold up very well.
This rifle works great on animals, Ive harvested 5 big game animals with it (2 elk, 3 deer) and each one flopped and died, never ran more than 10 feet. Last animal was an elk at 305 yards, went right through the heart and both lungs.
The stock isn't that great, its a Houge and it has numerous rub marks and scratches (its been a hunting rig) but it is glass bedded to the action, and never moves. The action and barrel are scratch free, but there is a small scratch on the trigger guard.
Has a Warne steel 20MOA cant 1 piece scope base picatinny rail installed that will go with the gun, as well as around 100 pieces of brass, some already sized and primed.
