Best 270?

[Hillbilly270]

Hate to start a debate but I love myTikka T3 270wsm   Mark

   i've got one too and love it....and its around 100 dollars cheaper than what you want to spend!

Cant go wrong with the winchester M70 either.

Tikka's are great out of the box, triggers are second to none, bolt super smooth, light weight and very accurate they come with a  mount/ring set that work great no matter what the rumors are, take the money you save on the rifle and mount/rings and get a nice scope. I have several rifles but always grab my tikka 30-06.

I shoot a Howa 1500 (Vanguard) in .270 and it shoots better than my Dad's 700 and my Wife's 700. It's been a tack driver since the day I took it out of the box.

AMEN BUCKMARK!!!
BROWNING GUNS ARE THE BEST SHOOTING GUNS OUT OF THE BOX. MY SON DOES SHOOT A TIKKA 300 MINMAG AND IT DROVE TACKS, I MEAN DROVE T.A.C.K.S OUT OF THE BOX!!  I WAS VERY VERY IMPRESSED.  HOWEVER GROWING UP IN UTAH LIVING ONLY 20 MINUTES FROM MORGAN UT HOME OF BROWNING....I HAVE THAT SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR BROWNING. EVER SEEN THE BROWNING COLLECTION AT THE 25 ST. UNION TRAIN STATION...YA VERY NICE..

The best 270 is a 30-06 J/K in my opinion the Remington 700 BDL is the best all around gun for the money. It is chambered in many calibers.

[Red Dawg]

the only thing that is killing me is all of the suggestions for the purchase of foreign made guns. I am a Remington 700/721 guy until the grave but at the very least just buy something made in the good ol USA. If I were buying at right now I would get the Remington 700 XHR. Very cool gun and not that expensive. If you want a wsm get the cdl stainless fluted, I have it and adore the rifle.

[Buckmark]

Is he looking for new only, lots of good used rifles out there that were not foreign made. Heck with enough looking could easily comeup with a .270, with a leupold scope mounted on it for under what he wants to spend..

[JackOfAllTrades]

Still debating Wood or synthetic stock too?, mull, and don't care for the kick a light rifle produces either.

Thing is.. You listed a price for rifle.  Does that amount include optics? Most rifles don't come with iron sights anymore.

And though the Marlin XL7 is light in synthetic stock, the recoil pad is very nice. My 15yr old (small) son doesn't flinch a bit with this one. So, for the Marlin you're looking at $300 out the door and another $300+ish for the scope and rings.

I'm not knocking Brownings or Tikka's or Remingtons.. But for less than $700 for a package, they are well worth the money. If you've got that much for just the rifle, then I guess you'll by buying Japanese steel if you're looking new. Used, you'll have to research when some of those were built in europe or U.S.A.

I like my A-bolt. It fits me well, I like the tang saftey, I like the palm swell. The 60 degree bolt lift is also a nice feature. I personally like the way the medallion models look, but from a practical point of view, the Stainless sythetic is the way to go.

[Buckmark]

You really need to go out and look at, fondle some guns, see what you like and dont like, trigger, safety etc, model or brand wont really make alot of difference, almost every gun will shoot better than the guy behind the stock, not all guns fit the same or shoulder the same and that should be more important that pleasing your buddies with the brand they like..
Also, whats the deal with a .270, i have never understood the love for this round? 

[MtnMuley]

Remington Model 700 mountain rifle would be my choice if you want a .270 win.  Very lightweight, compact, and accurate.  If you're open to anything in the 270 cal., I would go with a 270 WBY MAG.

I really like my Browning A-Bolt composite stalker in .270 win. Tack driver for me as well. It is the only composite gun I own, bought it for riding on the ATV gun rack and for just plain old rotton weather! I hate to get my walnut stalks wet and take a chance on them splitting the varnish when they swell.

I see a whole lot of the "Tack Driver"... being refered to on this thread... I'm thinking most of you are refering to some pretty big tacks!

Let's see those "tack driver groups" from those factory guns...
