A little after christmas wheelin and dealin landed me with a lightly used (about 15 rounds) all black Mossberg .270 bolt action rifle with a Bushnell Sportsman scope. Sighted it in yesterday in about 8 shots, very nice gun with a very smooth bolt. Pictures to follow at some point.

Not to look a new gun in the mouth, but what's that going to do that your 300 winmag won't?

Nothing. I acquired the gun more as a favor than anything. My twin brother really wanted a pistol to keep at his new house in Charlotte. While he isn't in the ghetto by any stretch, one of his neighbors houses was broken into a few nights ago. That .270 was his only gun. He "traded" me his gun, scope and 80 rounds of ammo for my rock island armory 1911. Given that I already have 3 other pistols adn the .357 is what I keep next to my bed it seemed fair enough of a trade to me. I've been much more into rifles for the past while anyways, so it seemed like a good time to give the .270 a try.

Next I want to pick up some form of a .223 rifle to play with.
