I will have to double check my production year on my taurus. I think/hope it is older.
This is a special request from the father of a 13 year old boy for last Christmas. A 270 Win, with a synthetic stock, hunting rifle. It started as a 30-06 Rem 700, it ended, 12 days later, in time for Christmas, with two days to spare, as a 270 Win, trued action, 5 squared, lugs to 100% contact, Timney trigger, 100% glass bedded action and bottom metal, free floated barrel, rust blued. I would have turned it .010 over but did not have a .010 barrel in 270 in stock. Test fired to .35 inches.

Got this one finished up today...........300WSM throated for Berger 210VLD Hunting
Manners stock
Terminus Kratos action W/20min pic rail
Trigger Tech Diamond 2 stage
GG&G Heavy Duty Bipod
Bartlein heavy Palma barrel
Terminator self-timing break
Valdada Recon G-2
Valdada 25min mount

We ( My oldest and best friend of 30+ years and amazing gunsmith Rick Shepherd and myself ) spun this together over the last few weeks over an awesome array of smoked meats and premium cigars.
After sighting in the scope at 100, the fist 3 shot group of 60.7 of 4350 jumping the 210 hunting 10, put them through the same hole...........Hows that for luck.............It's been a fun weekend getting this beauty finished up.

Latest budget build:
Action from a 1989 Remington 700 in 7mm Remington Magnum.
McGowen 24-inch Remington magnum contour 8-twist barrel in 7mm PRC.
Second-hand pillar bedded Darrell Holland laminate stock I had to open up for the magnum barrel.
Timney trigger and Vortex Viper HST 4-16x44 from my stash.
Talley 20 MOA rings.
I think it came together pretty nicely.

I think I put in a flat mainspring housing which I prefer.

Meet the new one... same as the old one.
Sorry, couldn't resist the reference. Not quite the same, however; my high school and college prone rifle was a 40X in .22 LR, this one is 7.62 NATO. Bone stock at this point. Found it on consignment at my local store - the owner was losing his eyesight and consigned several guns, including this one.
Just joined and saying howdy. Added the Vortex 6.5x20 and have been trying out various loads on a friend's rest. For now it look like 175 gr bullets work best. At least that's what I'll start practicing with. Going to try to shoot prone again after 45-plus years.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Well, I don't have it in my hands yet but it is definitely on the bus heading this way. Zack sent it out today and tracking says I will get it on Thursday. All 9 previous builds with Zack has been a pleasure and I cannot say enough good about his workmanship, quality, service, price, and communications as he has shown from day one to be more than just my rifle builder. We have a relationship that is not common in the rifle building arena. He has also chosen a stock painter (Bc'z here on the site) that has turned out prized jobs over and over again and again. His work matches Zack's perfectly no doubt. I deeply appreciate all that both of these guys have done for me and will continue to speak highly of them here and anywhere I have an opportunity. Take a peep below for yourself at another piece of Art well done.

Never saw a barrel shaped like that, stealthy. How's it shoot and who made it?
It's a factory Remington barrel 22" including ports.
My wife's in 260 with a not so factory paint job.
