Bases and rings are on their way. I got a Leupold 2-piece windage adjustable base and Redfield blued 1" Medium height rings off of eBay.
Trying to decide which scope to go with now. I'm thinking of keeping the K6 for now. If I change to anything, I'm looking at a vintage Weaver V9, or a Leupold Vari-X II in 3-9x40 or 2-7x33. Any thoughts, inputs, or suggestions? If I keep the K6, or go with the 2-7, I may also get some low rings for it. I'll have to watch eyepiece to bolt handle clearance on the scope though.

Unless there are brown bear, bison or velociraptors in your neighborhood I think you will come to love the 270. The fact you are shooting it from such a fine classic rifle makes it even better.

Great gun at a great price. good for you for recognizing quality among all the cheap / plastic stuff out there today.
140 grn accubonds seem to really fit my A Bolt .270-
And now everytime I squeeze the trigger whitetails just fall in their little tracks- Like they were trained or something-
Try some to see how yours like them-
Even if it's Winchester Black Box- The Brass is fair for recycling
And I'm considered part of the Younger Generation, Mr.-
I Thank My Father and Jack O'Connor every time I pick up my .270-

Husky's are so nice !
The .270.......just an awesome cartridge. Love mine, it works well on just about anything in North America.
I shot a ram at 584 laser ranged yards using 130 grain SSTs, then a week later loaned it to a buddy with my "bear loads" 150 Grain Grand Slams, who killed a 63 inch moose with it.
I prefer the .35 Whelen for the big stuff, like moose and grizzlies, but the .270 will do the job with good bullets placed in the right spot.

Very nice gun. Used but not abused. Just broken in for you! Excellent caliber. U did well.
when you get a load worked up, adjust those iron sights to shoot two inches high at 100 yards. ya never know when that scope is gonna take a dump.
would check the mounting screws on those iron sights as well. they are probably loose.
suggest a 40mm ocular for more light gathering ability if you are going to hunt. the 3x9 leupold is a good choice.

Roklok, that second shot with the ram is a beautiful picture. Reminds me a lot of the parts of British Columbia and Alberta that I saw. I really need to get back up there one of these days.
Day three of copper fouling cleaning complete. I think I'm getting near the end. Only a little blue still coming out on the patches. I've been polishing up the .270 brass that I've found lying around. I also picked up a Winchester black box of 150 grains at WalMart today. That should at least get me back sighted in after I switch mounts and rings.
I have a vintage made in the USA Weaver V9 coming in that I was going to put on my other project, a heavy barreled 7x57AI built on a 1909 Peruvian action, but I'm thinking of hijacking that scope and putting it on the Husky with the new rings. I may have to knock out the rear sight and put in a dovetail block though. I'm not certain a 40mm objective will clear it with medium height rings. I'll just have to test fit it and see. Can't really spring for the Leupold right now unless I find a screaming deal. I still need to stock that Peruvian, so I've got to set aside some money for that (it has a youth stock on it right now, not really working too well for me).

You bought a chain saw in .270?? How you going to cut firewood with that? Haha. If you read Jack Oconner he would convince you that .270 is best caliber ever invented and you can zap everything from single cell amoebos to a T-Rex. Not quite that versatile but nice.caliber none the less. Looks like nice rifle too. Be a good shooter and don't have to worry about scratching it. From coyote to mule deer and even elk with good shot placement you have a fine combination. If you handload pm me for some data that works good in several rifles.
Nice rifle and good find for the money.
The .270 Winchester has always been my favorite go to cartridge. I have taken game animals with a 30/06, .308, .300 win and a score of other calibers. Something about the energy transfer of the .277 cal bullet that is truly devastating.
I am sure that a million people will quote this table to that table telling me I am wrong. However I have never experienced quicker more effective kills. Nor have I seen more devastating wound channels by any other rifle on medium game animals. If something needs put down the .270 is the rifle I reach for each and every time.

The .270 is capable of exception accuracy.
My stainless steel Ruger .270 will regular shoot three shot 1/2" groups using O'Conner's recommended load and 130 gr. bullet when the nut behind the trigger does his job.
To really get the barrel of dirty, neglected guns clean I like the Outers Foul-Out system.

130 grain Remington core-lokt ammo tears wide wound channels through animals resulting in bang-flop performance!
