DNZ Gamereaper on my TC muzzleloader has been rock solid for years. The Leupold Ultimate Slam has never budged under pretty heavy recoil and plenty of shooting. Super easy set up.

I own the Pro Hunter in .308. One thing to be mindful of is the clearance of the bolt handle from the ocular/eyepiece end of the scope. I put a Sightron Big Sky 4x16x42 on mine and had to put an adjustable cheek rest on the stock to get proper scope to eye alignment and have the handle clear the...

CVA Scout V2 I recently purchased a CVA Scout V2 in 44 Rem Mag. I'm a smaller man. It comes in a compact youth size, but I wanted the 22" barrel so I bought the full size. They sell an easily added 13 LOP stock, which I purchased. I used Barnes ammo and was pleased with the results at 100 yds...

Gathering dust I've got a new one in the box gathering dust in my basement. I bought two, but only use one. A fair price plus the cost of shipping and it's yours. Not sure how to do it myself, but private message me.

Warne Fixed Mounts I used Warne fixed rings on my Tikka T 3 Forest .260. Mounts directly to the receiver and has a recoil pin that seated perfectly in the receiver. No base necessary. Rock solid. Not sure if they are available in stainless.

Forest It is a standard T3 barreled action with a walnut, oil finished stock. It has a rollover cheekpiece which, for me, creates a perfect cheek weld. I'm on the small side and the wood stock allowed me to have the stock shortened more easily than a synthetic stock.

Tikka T3 Forest .260 Remington. 100 yds. < .75".

T3 Forest Tikka T3 Forest in .260 Rem. Warne permanent rings, Trijicon Accupoint 3x9x40. LOP shortened to 12.5 inches including the small recoil pad. Shoots Federal Fusion 120gr and Federal Vital Shok 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips very well. Makes an average rifleman look pretty good.

Recently purchased a Remington 7400 in .270 Win. First/only day at the range I noticed that roughly half of the spent cases had a significant bend in the case neck. When mounting a scope yesterday I noticed a bit of metal protruding into the ejection port. It is in the upper right hand corner...

On the one misfire, I'm not certain I let the bolt 'slam' closed......

Recently purchased a used Rem 7400 Synthetic in .270 Win. Inquiry to Remington customer service sez rifle was manufactured in 2004. Aware of the reliability issues with this gun, during the three day inspection period, I had it evaluated by a smith who gave it a thumbs up. Without breaking...

T/C Venture Not under $400 but the Venture might make the list... Built in the US.

Savage 11 lightweight hunter .260 Rem, Winchester 70 (beautiful, older "grandads gun") .270 Win., Marlin 336C .30-30. Northern Vermont 189# 9 pt to the .270!!. Biggest front hooves we'd ever seen.

Anyone know the LOP of the Savage 11 FCNS?

Thanks for the replies. I'm saving for a spring purchase. I remain undecided though I'm leaning toward stainless for the inevitable days of precip. I believe handloading is in the future to get the most out of this rifle.
