.270 It's a Model 70 with a detachable mag. I think it was in the 1990's that they reverted back to the old design controlled feed rifles and put a detachable mag on this model. I have a Zeiss Conquest 6-20 x50 on it. I thought the shot was 120 yards, but I looked at my sheet in the stand today and that feeder is 178 yards away and he was right next to it.
Nice! Looking at the picture, I figured it was a long action. That same scope is on a custom-built rifle (Shilen barrel on a Sako action, in a McMillan stock) I’ve been holding and trying to sell for a friend who can no longer own firearms…chambered in .264 Winchester Magnum. Sadly, the caliber has entered into the domain of tinkerers rather than mainstream hunters, so it has been hard to generate much interest in the rifle.

But that’s cool that you have a classic wood-stocked controlled-feed Model 70. I like it.
