Best 270?

[KimberRich]

My 270 Browning A-bolt is a complete tack driver! Lots of one shot kills, get a rem or tikka or any of the others and in a few years your going to start to wish you got the Browning, spend the little extra and get the buckmark!

no offence but Ive never cared for brownings

The 270 Win (or WSM) is a very capable cartridge. I have shot and owned 270's since '80. They are great rifles. Get whichever rifle floats your boat. I have had good results with two Rem M700's. One was a BDL, the other was a lite weight Mtn Rifle. My current 270 is a Tikka T3 Lite.

All rifles shot "minute of mulie." (0.5 moa).

The Tikka has a Leupold VXI 2-7x32 LR Duplex scope on it. I worked good enough to take down a 4 pt last year at 386 yds (lasered).

Will my Tikka win any beauty contests? NO! That old Mtn Rifle would have though.

This discussion remonds of one I just got into regarding which Diesel pick-up should I buy, a Power Stroke, a Cummins, or a Duramax.

Duramax!!

  Thats why I think these kinds of questions are kinda silly, just make a list of every gun made cause sombody out there that has one, thinks ITS the best. Whats the deadliest snake in the world?..........The one that just bit you. Realy I think the best is the one I shoot alot and have confidence in.

Huntinphool, I have killed two deer with a 7mm rem mag, and quite a few with a .270 win. I just like less recoil and the fact that I have always seen massive destruction to the chest cavity's of the deer I have shot with the .270. Every deer I have shot with the .270 I have watched drop. Eather in their tracks of only a step or two later. The two deer I shot with the 7mm, I also droped in their tracks. I dont know why, but I just like the .270 better!

I absolutely agree. It's all about confidence. 

My vote for the .270 is the 721 remington.  The gun that turned into to 700 which has turned out to be a pretty good rifle... 

I have one that my Grandpa bought brand new in '49 and he handed down to my Dad 25 years ago and now I have it.  It's pretty much killed everything that walks.  Deer, elk, sheep , goats, bear, and many other things.  I wish it could talk and tell me the stories!

Jack O'Connor's .270 was the best .270 of all time...

Today I went to the range and checked the zero on my rifles. The Tikka T-3 Lite and my handload, cold barrel, put 3 shots in 3/8" @ 100 meters. I put the rifle back in it's case and did not touch it.

I shot a traditional Sierra 130 gr SBT (GK), RP Brass, 59.3 grs H4831, CCI 200 primers. It pokes along at 2940 fps.

This Tikka is a down & dirty killing machine. Last year - one shot - one kill - 386 yds.

If you haven't been to the Jack O'Connor Museum in Lewiston, ID it's worth the trip.  Cabela's in Post Falls has a nice memorial wall in his honor too.

How about mine? haha. Winchester M70 w/ MPI Custom lightweight beavertail/thumbhole 14 5/8 LOP, Fiberglass bedded, Magnum pins, Sleeved pillars, removable mag, Vari-X II 3-9x40 (Would swap it out but its got some good battle scars that are fun reminders), muzzle break, Harris 25C Bipod, Outdoor Connections super sling. But in all seriousness, really love the rifle. Was my first rifle. My old man bought it for me on my 14th BDay, a couple years after I first started hunting. Doesnt look anything like it use to but its always done its job.
