I know which one you are thinking about. I too have been looking for one in a .270! LOL! $450 is a SUPER price. Don't delay and snatch it up.

While looking into the same mountain rifle, I had a few questions too and nothing bad came up. The big positive is that it was lighter and that is why I considered it. I still hunt(sneak hunting) a lot and the heavier 700's seemed to get.... well, heavier the longer you used them. LOL!

They're a sweet looking gun. Congrat's on finding a good one for that price.
