Anyone out there shooting the Colt light rifle that was produced few years ago? What are the experiences with it?

I have a Colt Lightweight - also in 270.  I really like the trigger pull and the safety device for round removal is pretty nifty also.  I filled the butt of the stock with that spray in foam stuff to get rid of the hollow sound.  It also shoots less than MOA.  I load 150 gr Grand Slams with 50 grains of 4350 for my hunting load.  It really is to bad that they didn't sell all that well.  But then, I wouldn't have a classic rifle.
