Best 270?

[jdb]

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

ok let me clarify that statement. the buckmark pistols are gret guns the auto5 is a timeless classic, the T-bolt, blr, and sa .22's are all great rifles, the blr's seem cool but I dont care for the handeling of the a bolt. same with tikka's, weatherby's and sako's my

I have a Tikka .270 that has been perfect since day one.

BLR's are lever guns not bolts..

not sure what your askin buckmark?

 :)Buckmark you forgot   "SUCKS"
get a regular 270, short mags SUCK.
I do not like Browning but some are OK, get a rifle you like, I would say TIKKA first, but Rugers are OK, Winchesters, better than Rugers,...... Howa, Browning,weatherby, all the same junk. Thompson Center too much work for what you get.
its all opinion!
If you want a real rifle that will be perfect from the get to the go
buy Sako

There is no "best" rifle. It's just whatever you like. One thing to look at is the safeties. Buy a rifle that has a safety that is where you like it. I like the tang safeties. One of the reasons I like my Browning A Bolt. I believe Savage also has the tang safety and they are good rifles and reasonably priced as well. Howa/Weatherby Vanguard would also be a good rifle to look at. Rugers I don't know much about but if I was in the market I'd look at them just for the fact that they're American made. I guess the Remingtons are too and that's a good thing. Browning and Winchester I believe are made in Japan.

I hate to admit it since im a devot Browning fan, old enough to have shoot alot of guns so dont try and change me, but one of the best guns i own is a model 70 in 30-06, acutrate as hell, i must have gotten lucky, owned it for a long, long time, shoots better then me ( and im pretty good), I'm not sure were the rifle is made makes a big difference (here it goes), buy and old Browning made in Belgium.. Most guns will shoot better than most people behind the stock.

[Buckmark]

I own a browning a-bolt that shot great out of the box.  

The Browning A-bolt is a nice gun alright,I'll check to see if it fits my budgit or not.

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

Uh no offence, but a .270 really does not kick...

Gosh, If I was in the market for a rifle tomorrow and had some hot green to lay down..

Don't get me wrong, Browning A-Bolts are sweet.

But there's better bang for the buck out there.

Then put the best optic I could afford on it.   I bought a Marlin XL7 in .270 for my son last Christmas. It shoots MOA easily and with a bit of shooter improvement I think it'll do better. Other than a early Ruger Varmint rifle with the varmint trigger, I'm unaware of anything out of the box that compares to the Accutrigger from Savage or Marlin's Profire trigger.
Savages are tack drivers too.

I'd rather have one of these American made rifles.  Love my Ruger though..

If I were on a budget of around $600, I'd get a new Savage 116FHSS If I had a little more money to spend, I'd get a Browning X-bolt.  If I had a lot of money for a new rifle, I'd get a Steyr Classic Light.  

If you don't mind heavier rifles, then you may like a Steyr Prohunter.

No matter what you buy, if you shoot it well then that is what matters, i have never, ever had any animal i shot say " I wish you would have shot me with a "XYZ"...
