I have a Remington 721 in the .270. 24” barrel. I found it 35 years ago off the end of the used rifle rack, small gun shop. Dirtiest, grungiest gun in the place. The bore looked dirty but good. I gave a hundo straight up for it. Brought it home and simply cleaned the beejeezus out of it. It really blossomed nicely steel and wood for an A model. Bore polished up as new.
I will put it up against any new or old, any make, as far as accuracy that thing is a true tack driver.
Good story Slick, good caliber.

I am not going to discuss religion its something I do not do. BUT wild sheep you have my attention. You do know EVERY ram has the same gene pool. Remember Noah ? NIce looking mount congrats . Hard to beat a270 for anything in lower 48 . Like all rifles only as good as the hands that carry it There is such a thing as genetics. Heredity is the passing of genetic information and traits. It occurs in bighorn sheep in Montana. The mount is an original rocky mountain bighorn sheep. It has the same genetics as the ram that Jack O'Connor harvested. That was my point. To explain it further here in Montana we have two different gene pools of sheep. One is from the Sun River pool and the other is the original. Most of all the rams harvested are transplants from the Sun River herd. They have a larger horn mass.The rams that score in the B&C book from Montana are from the Sun River gene pool herd.
