Finally assembled .270 NEF rifle

[smith and wesson]

I've had the receiver and barrel for over a year. Since H&r is shutting down I decided id better buy a wood stock while I still can. I've been wanting a bolt action with wood furniture for a while but I'm a huge fan of single shot rifles, I find I take my time more and in essence make every shot count. What do you guys think?

Receiver was around 70 bucks, barrel I had from a previous purchase, stock was 60 bucks.

Going to put a leopold scope on it soon.

Beautiful

I like them! Have 22 Hornet, 223 & 45-70

Thanks rich.

Very nice! I'm tempted to send it in and get a barrel for 223 and 308.

So you prefer the plastic stock or wood?

Like the rifle but not the cartridge. To each his own.
I would put a Direct Replacement Limbsaver Recoil Pad on it. That is what I did to mine.
I have the 45-70 Buff Classic and the curved steel buttplate was brutal on the shoulder. I got a wood buttstock off e-bay and put the limbsaver pad on it which helped. This way I could put it back to original if I decide to. It would also keep resale value better with the original.

Mine have wood stocks.

I'm fairly new to the caliber. Only familiar with 556 and 308. I just remember during the ammo drought only 270 was readily available. I guess that's why I got into .40 also.

Nice rifle, I have a 12 gauge NEF and like it.

There is nothing wrong with the .270Win. It's been one of the top hunting calibers for a long time. It sit at the same table as the 30-06 and .308Win.

That's good to know. I might invest in a 30-06 bolt action in the future anyways.
