Sax - Nice to find another fellow lefty. I have 2 A-bolts in left hand in the Micro Hunter configuration and they are sweet. Now don't forget with the .270 don't go over 60 gr of FFFg.

Very nice looking center fire there.. that .270 is a good caliber. Although I went to the 7mm mag instead in a Ruger M77

Well that's three of us. With the BOSS you should be able to turn that rifle into a real tack driver once you find it's sweet spot.

I like all firearms. lolEven those backwards righties.

You are right about that Encore,I LOVE IT and it is my favorite Rifle

When I hunt with my Dad (83) we run dogs and dont use ML's
I will keep this in the gun rach because one second your in thick woods the next open woods the next your in a field with 3 and 400 yard shots so I use a 12 guage a 30-30 and now the browning.

I just love guns
