I have a 270 in Win M 70 Featherweight, I bought it when I turned 14 (I'm 30 now) and it has been a great rifle. It is super light as the name implies, has a 22" barrel, the controled feed Pre-64 style action and shoots a nice 5/8" three shot group at 100yrds w/ 130gr accubons. Besides being a nice handy rifle and its a real looker too. The featherweight has a schnoble stock (sp?) and you can mount a bi-pod if you want with just a piece of leather under the mount without maring the wood.

Browning A-Bolt.  Good solid, accurate rifle.  I have 2.

I bought my wife a Remington 770 in .270. "WalMart Special"
It is light and easy for her to handle (not that bad of a kick).
Turned out to be a good gun for her.

Can't go wrong with a Remington 700. :tup: This is a Remington 700 ADL synthetic in .270 Win I purchased about 6 years ago at a local Bi-Mart. They were phasing the ADL's out with the arrival of the Remington 700 SPS. I purchased this rifle new for 299.00 bucks and change with the tax. I don't think you can ask for more from a factory 300.00 buck rifle. I've paid a heck of a lot more for customs to do the same. ;) Makes a guy wonder sometimes.

most recent purchase is a savage 110 .270 lefty.  my new favorite all around rifle now.  3 big game species down with it and not a single problem.  very little kick and smaller exit hole with less meat loss.  currently firing win super x 150 grain and might check out fed premiums and hornady just to see if there is a big difference between the 3 different manufacturers.

I would look at the Tikka rifles.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

 :yeah:   Have had no problems with cheaper rifles, as long as it's a Remington.
