270 useless grouping possible cause

[muddy42]

Ive not seen the foresight retained with a moderator before. Did you have it moved back?

 

[Anser anser]

no its still more or less as was prior to the work being done. The foresight hood is still original length and could really do with being shortened as it overhangs the portion of the foresight that was cut away during threading but thats ok i dun mind.it means i can still use the gun as original with a thread protector in place.most seem to just ask for it to be cut off clean and go for a 20" barrel instead of the 22"

My 30.06 made me sit up' first shot after being used to 6.5x55 and 120gn. I dropped the bullet weight to 150gn way softer.

BC.

Ive had deer with the .270 mind-but without the mod on the gun i found it "impressive" but where a wee bit discretion was required it was clearly the worst choice.The mod now makes it viable wherever im mooching

Rifle fit to the shooter is just as important as shotgun fit,
Most rifles & shotguns are never a first time fit, bit like an off the peg suit that needs fettling.

Hmmmm. Not sure I’d agree with that first part

Result. It was the glue blob. managing to group well enough. all thats left to resolve is my erratic recoil management with the 270

Have a read of this by Nathan Foster - teaches everything you need to know about recoil management.

Hold that Forend!

Im getting there --slowly-- takes a lot more thought in taking the shot than with my .243.Overall im pleased the guns not needing repaired and im further forward in the transition to a heavier calibre.I was just saying to Ed there up at edinburgh rifles ,ill use it during the rut this year i think.View attachment 477675

Looks like a bsa CF2 or monarch job

 

[FlyBoy270]

If it's a Monarch - looking at bolt - it probably is shot out

Good morning gents
Having sold one of my 7mms to the bro in law I found myself with a spare slot , fancying another .270 I had a look on guntrader and bought this ..... 60 years old bsa monarch deluxe still in original case for £125 barely used , just sorting out scope options and I think I’m going to leave it unmoderated, there’s still bargains to be had

Its not shot out-problem now resolved. simple fix. lump of glue in barrel channel that i had put there to stop a swivel moving about.Its been removed. groups just fine now.Ive had deer with the rifle prior to the glue error and it was just peachy. Its now threaded and will drop deer again albeit slightly quieter if i choose
