Alamo Precision Rifles 270 winchester

Trued Remington 700 action
24" 1-10 twist Premium air gauged Douglas #4 barrel with ratchet barrel flutes
HS Precision stock
Side bolt release
Hex cut bolt shroud
Shilen trigger set a 2 lbs
Double Diamond bolt fluting
APR custom bottom metal
Custom bolt knob
Graphite cerokote bolt, bottom metal, and barrel flutes.
Titanium cerokote action and barrel
Leupold VX-3 4.5-14 with side focus and Boone and Crockett reticle
Talley LW ring mounts

With less than 30 rds thru the barrel, it shot a 1/2" group at 100 yards with Nosler 130 gr Accubond factory ammo and just over 1/2" with 140 gr Hornady SST loaded by Dallas Reloads. This load wasn't tuned for my rifle, just a load Chad uses on several other 270's he loads for. To say that I'm impressed, is an understatement. Very happy with my new rifle!

Sweet! Like the barrel length as well. Hang on to that one for sure!

Drop Tine, nice build! I'd like to ask you a question about the non-traditional fluting on the barrel. I like it a lot, but I'm curious. When you are shooting it, and the barrel heats up, I'd like to know if you see any POI shifts or groups opening up when the barrel heats up.
