250Z New Look at Barra 270z, 300z and western revolvers at RMAC

These are really cool guns and the first word I have heard of a possible release date on them. The 270Z in August and the 300Z in November is the plan. Yes, that's right guys, time to reach into them wallets again and let's see who is preordering again. These are something I have been really looking forward to seeing come out but for me the weight is very important, and they might be a bit more than I want to carry around but that 270Z is a nice-looking gun.

When the 270z was first shown a few months back I contacted Barra with a suggestion. I suggested they should incorporate a faux bolt shroud behind the bolt handle to blend in that flat spot on the stock behind the rear of the bolt. I commented about that flat spot making the rifle look odd. I suggested that flat spot might make the difference in whether a person would buy the rifle, or not. Apparently they did not agree. Disappointing.

That flat spot where the bolt shroud normally resides on any bolt action rifle (firearm) should have been considered for cosmetic appearance on the 270z. Just my opinion.

This is the first mention of them that I have seen at the Barra web site.

Barra Airguns | 270z Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) Pellet Air Rifle

Get to know the Barra 270z, a bolt-action, regulated pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) pellet air rifle that builds on our popular 250z platform. Air is stored in a 322cc reservoir wrapped around the barrel, and an externally adjustable regulator keeps shot-to-shot velocity consistent from first shot...

So a step backwards to make it look like a real bolt action rifle? Everybody has been going to a side lever getting away from the bolt.

Watch the video… he comments on how it’s a much shorter throw than the 250z… I don’t think this is a step back at all.

The budget “DRS”… I wonder if it too will need a $200 LW barrel to shoot worth a flip, if so might as well buy an FX. Only time will tell.
