Finally getting one! I blame my coworker!!

At one of my local gun shops today to do other things and I happen to look at the used gun rack.

Low and behold, there is one of the rifles that I've been wanting for years!

Ruger 77 Stainless with the Zytel stock in 270 Win.

Now I've bought 2 other 270 rifles, and immediately rebarreled them.
So 270 Win wasn't my first choice for cartridges.

But...

Helping a coworker get started on reloading for his Tikka T3 in 270 Win.
He has nothing for reloading.
So i ordered the dies (supposed to arrive today) and yesterday got bullets.

So with bullets and dies, i couldn't put the rifle back in the rack.
Put it on lay a way.

The crappy silver Tasco scope is going to come off!
A black scope with a MOA reticle will find it's way on it.

I was going to put this in the caliber specific forum, but there is none for the 270.

I am one of those schmucks that also love a stainless ruger m77, though I am a south paw so I like the ones with the bolt on the wrong side! Nice score! What did u pay if u don’t mind me asking?

The 140gr Ballistic Tips should do fine for elk.
