I pulled out a couple ammo boxes that housed my 270 ammo. Turns out I have about 25 boxes of 270 and I go through less than a box a year. This made the decision easy.
I bought a brand new unfired Weatherby vangaurd series 2 in 270 win.
Its in an ugly ish blaze pattern but I got it for $650 and the great guy through in scope rings.
I then bought a burris fullfield from a buddy who had it just sitting in his gunsafe new and never used for $350.0
Total is $1000 all in and my buddy who has everything will mount and bore sight the scope and then its off to the range.
I may buy him a weatherby removable magazine kit later.
I am quite happy with the decision. We may paint the stock later but for now its golden!!!

The infamous Blaze Camo LOL. I bought one in 243 for a friends kid in 243win, when Wholesale Sports had them on for $399. They are a good rifle, but the paint job didn't sell well, so they went on sale, and were a great bargain.
