449.00 is a good price on the MKll's. That's about what I've been seeing them on Gunsamerica for lately.I saw a "All Weather" last weekend for 499.95 in 30-06 at a small hardware store. The 270 is one of my favorite deer cartridges.I think you're making a good choice.Usually this time of year Ruger does have rebates on certain models. I believe you're correct on the amount of a 40.00 rebate.
