    Barnes130 Considered the Blaser 1-7x 28? If you've ordered the K95 through Blaser NZ then you'll get the scope mount for free when you buy the scope. Excellent optics.

    270 Gibbs is great in 24"+ barrel, will give .270Wby performance, but with more hassle - case forming is an arse, dies are easily obtainable. - More powder used per round - More recoil- - Case...
