My 270 is a Sako synthetic stock as I hunt is tropical humid conditions. Keeping rust of anything here is difficult.
I have had to get all stainless street barrels for the same reason.
Previously I meant ram - predictive text is a curse at times.

Looks like it's the same as mine except the caliber.

That's one very powerful cartridge. Your son must hunt something fairly big and the velocity would certainly shoot flat and hit with tremendous "enthusiasm"

Should prove ideal too for high country hunting whereby flat shooting is required over a long distance and the bullet hits hard.
My impression is great.

Just something I meant say previously. I would be careful not to fire a lot of shots one after the other as the barrel will get mighty hot.
This means that throat erosion will be extensive and barrel life will be very short in the vicinity of 600 rounds.
Overall the cartridge is excellent for hunting even if I think it's a bit of overbore.
All the best.

We also LOVE to hunt sheep, and hear about and read the stories ,
Me- 1/2 Slam Desert & Rocky, My wife 1/2 Slam Desert & Rocky, also my Daughter has Her Desert, and was Hung out to dry on her Dall sheep (BAD ill equipped GUIDE) she found most of the rams that were spotted...... NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOOT

"I don't know how many more years this body can stay in somewhat sheep shape" BUT EVERYDAY I WAKE UP IN PAIN IS A GOOD DAY,........... I WOKE UP AGAIN........
