I received my new Rem .270 Win, 700 CDL SS FL more than a week ago; pillar-bedded/free-floated it almost a week ago and mounted the Leupold VX2 3-9X four days ago, but haven't shot it yet. Weather in Maine has been between very uncomfortable to shoot and BRUTAL! We're expecting another blizzard again this weekend!
This is definitely the longest I've ever had a new rifle before shooting it. I'm still awaiting a Timney trigger, but it's due Feb. 19 and we're not due to get temps above 24* for the next couple of weeks. I don't even know for sure that it will shoot! (I suspect that it will be fine.)
The good thing is that not having a "factory-rifle" group, I'll never know whether I made it worse or not. LOL

This winter is breaking so many snowfall and temperature records throughout the Northeast States. We don't have quite as much snow as Mass., but it's still a lot.
I was just outdoors, making more room for the next snow, in 5* temps and an icicle formed under my nose...and I don't even have a mustache!
