Has anyone handled or shot the Nosler Special Edition rifle (I think they call it a Model 48 but not sure) in 270 WSM? If so, what did you think of it?

Yeah, VERY overpriced if you consider a M700 or M77 can do the same thing.

You can say that again.

I'd rather have a custom built to my own specs than pay that ridiculous price.

one mans' idea of a very nice semi-custom rifle. Not at all overpriced when you look at Kimber or Dakota or Brown, which is their competition. Comparing one to a Rem 700-series is like comparing a Ferrari Enzo to a Yugo...and picking the Yugo because it has a back seat and gets better gas mileage.

Without getting into the push feed vs. CRF argument, I think Nosler Rifle is overpriced for what they offer. If PF floats your boat then you can get a rifle custom built by a good gunsmith on a Sako action for the same price as that semi custom. If you do your homework, you might even save some money for the scope as well.


The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater.

I handled a Nosler Custom when I visited the Nosler store last August. I thought it was a nicely done piece, though I can't recall the price - $4000? I didn't think that was overpriced for a custom, wood-stocked rifle, FWIW. I did think it was one of the heavier rifles I've ever hefted, however - I think they told me it was over nine pounds.

They do seem kind of pricey.

Jaywalker,

I think you are thinking of a different rifle. The one I am talking about weighs 5.75 pounds.
