[size=large]I drove 2 1/2 hours this morning after getting up at 5:45. I met the guy who I was buying the custom Infield from, he drove for 1 1/2 hours south and we met in Culpeper, VA. I looked the rifle over good and there was no doubt, I was getting a good deal. Worth more than twice what I paid for it. Somebody did a nice job customizing this old 1917 Infield. It's been converted to 270 caliber which is one of the best long-range bullets out there and capable of taking anything in the North American continent. Nice piece of wood as well as some fine hand-checkering, some nice rosewood end pieces. [/size]

Somebody put a lot of work into it; Makes you wonder why they did so much work and then Sold it---Don't know what it Cost but I would guess you paid $250 but I don't know what guns are worth any more---I bought a 30-30 while I was in Arizona and paid $378 for it---I have (2) of them now; I did have a 32 Special but some one Borrowed it and I never got it back along with a few other guns---I don't know how many I still have but its around a Dozen and at least half are pistols from 22 to a 454---I don't own any Bolt Action guns as I just never liked them much---How many deer are you allowed in your state---We can have No more than (1)
 
[size=large]and he (guy in the military) said it belonged to his father who had passed away and he had had it for as long as he could remember. I hope it shoots as good as it looks, rifle bore looks great~ butter smooth action and great touch & bang trigger. Paid $425 for it... my birthday present.[/size]
 
My dad and uncles all used .270's and swore by them. A lot of folks say they are a little light for elk, but if you put a good bullet in the right spot, it will do the job every time. The low recoil of the .270 makes that easy. I even know a guy that used a .270 on safari and took all the plains game with it without a problem using 150 nosler partitions. He even used it on a one shot kill on a large lion that came along. The sectional density of a .277 caliber bullet makes it penetrate better than it should and the bullistic coefficiancy makes it a very flat shooter. You are set! Now get a good scope and fill the freezer. :) DC
