New rifle

[AKaviator]

I bought a new rifle. Being a bit of a traditionalist, I found what I thought is a good deal on a Mauser M12 in .270 Winchester. So far, so good. It seems to like 140 and 150 grain loads best. About 1" at 100. Only factory loads so far until I can catch back up with my .270 loading stuff that's in Oregon right now.
I love the 3 position safety, smooth feeding and excellent trigger. I hope I can bring home a nice buck from Montana with it this fall!

looks great.

a .270win not shooting 130 gr? that's blasphemy! lol jk.

I was just going to ask about the 130 grain bullets?

That rifle does have a beautiful stock, it will be a shame when that first scratch is put into it but then it becomes a shooter.

I bet I'll find a good 130 load for it. They just weren't the best of the sample I tried so far. Which isn't a lot yet.

140 gr accubonds work well in a 270

Beautiful rifle! Congrats... I have a friend shooting the 145 grain Hornady precision hunter with good results. Might be worth a try.
