Actually - the dealer where I bought it has a 270 on the shelf and if the one I get looks like that from a form and fit standpoint, id be happy. At the end of the day - I abuse (excluding safety) every gun I own - so all I really care about it that it hits what I'm aiming at. With that said, I have heard that the triggers are tough on some - but having never owned a rem before?? Maybe I can get that changed out or reworked once I figure out what's going on with it.
