“Rathdrum” is pure Irish place name. Literally means fort on the hill. Piece of useless info for you.

That’s the logical answer.

A Ruger No1 in 30/30 would be sweet if such a thing could be found.

Is that an Irish Contract rifle?

Roughly 30mm high at 100 assuming moderate ballistics. You’ll be a couple of inches low at 200.

Lovely stock. Pity it’s not coming my way.

Would you sell the McMillan separately?

The aborted love child of a Blaser and an SA80…. I want one 🤣

Can I suggest that for your first rifle, that you buy the most conventional and available rifle you can find? Bog standard Tikka in 308win or 6.5cm, or similar from any one of half a dozen other suppliers. You can be clever some other time.

A K95 goes into a violin case very nicely.

Now, that is a deer rifle 👍

Can’t think of much more unsuitable for your application than a 270.

A big sheep and a wee goat? In the mountains? Sounds like the 270’s job description.

My da insists on calling the 308 the”thirty ought eight”.

You might be on to something there. A 10 twist should stabilise lead cored 70 gr bullets. Tikka built a batch of 10 twist 22/250’s a few years ago for the US market.
