    I found a similar thing with the 270win.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    243's tend to shoot different bullets close together also.

    It seems I've caught an STD Songhurst Transmitted Disease
    This came up at a price I couldn't refuse through a forum member.
    The scope cost me more than the rifle it's wearing a leupold vx5hd 3-15x44 on leupold PRW rings

    Welcome to the dark side.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It would look better on a 270 finnlight! I might know where one is with a very low 23 round count.

    And probably a price tag 3x what I paid for the a7, I only bought this because it came up cheap.

    Made between 1915 and 1920.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Don't apologise for buying an A7. They are a great rifle. Ive got 2 and think they are well worthy of the Sako brand.
