They ae a lot more expensive today-I believe.
    I ended up buying the rifle. I was warned on the Winchester Collectors Group (Yeah I know... lol) about a Recall on the XMP triggers I was able to find the info on Remingtons site and validate that the rifle for sale had been fixed by Remington. Now I have to wait for shipping and the California Waiting Period so I won't range test it until late Feb or March.

    I won't be modding the rifle to a BDL unless I end up changing out the stock at some point; it depends on how well the ADLs stock is. Thanks for the Info!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Yes, my thought exactly. I would do it only if the factory ADL stock was causing accuracy (minute of Deer) issues and I could not work them out by bedding and other fixes.

    So, it'll likely shoot just fine but we'll be standing around here waiting anyway...

    I don't think it would be worth messing around with the synthetic stock. If I were to go the BDLicon route I would more then likely get a Boyds or BDL a take off wood stock.

    No that I have bought this thing, and some new die for it. Does anyone have suggestions on a bullet weight? For hunting, I'll have to go lead-free in CA but for the range, I can go with a lead bullet. Never owned a .270Win so not sure if this caliber is partial to a certain weight. Thanks in advance.

    $325 isn't a great price if it has no scope. MSRP on a BNIB, scoped, synthetic stocked, ADL is $525. Have a look at the price of one in a local shop first.
    Mind you, a .270 will kill any game in North America with a change of bullet.
    And it's a hunting rifle. The mag capacity doesn't matter. Don't think CA allows battle rifle mag capacity for hunting anyway.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    If you look before replying, you'll see he already has this rifle...
