No photos. But it is a Czech-built Mark V action with a Winchester 70-type 3-position safety and a stock I made from a piece of walnut I cut in Texas. My favorite ammo is handloaded 175-grain Nosler partitions pushed to about 2,750 fps. I've made one-shot kills on six bulls in Arizona, New Mexico and Mongolia with that load. With three rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, the rifle weighs more than 9 pounds, which is fine with me because I'm a wimp when it comes to being kicked and slammed around and its recoil is quite bearable. I used the same ammo and rifle on everything from 15-pound duikers to moose and eland with excellent results.

Browning BAR Shorttrac left hand .270WSM with 150 gr. Nosler Partitions with a Leupold 4.5-14x50mm VX-3L with a ballistic dial. I'm retiring the BAR .270 Win that has killed about 12 elk over the years or until my 1st miss with the new 270WSM. :o :huh: :lol:

I might have do push the mud-dobber nests out of the barrel before this October's bull hunt ;)

HS Precision, 300WSM, 180 Sciroccos, Conquest 3.5-10x44

I have tried loading the Nosler e-tips, but have had inconsistent results.
