You don't get this thread do you JoshT??
singleshot12 wants to know the best 270 for him to buy. He is not asking if 7mm is better or what the differences are. You should start a thread about 7mm's if you like them soooo much.

As for me singleshot12 my whole family have Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stocker Series my dad and sister have the 270 and I have the 270WSM. Found my sister's gun used for about 550 bucks. Glass bedded, free floating, and detachable box magazine, can't ask for more than that!!!! Let us know what you bought.

Of the 270's I've shot my favorite would have to be the old style Rem TI. If I was to find a used one for a fair price, I'd buy it. Rebarrel to 25-06

I have Tikkas, Brownings, Remingtons, A Savage, Winchesters and a few Sakos
For that price range I think the best production rifle would be a used Sako or a used pre 64 Winchester model 70.
I have two Sako Finnbear 270's and a Winchester model 70 270 and they are very well built, accurate and  good looking rifles.

My Dad loves his old Remington 760 Gamemaster. That old gun has downed Deer, Elk, Bear, Coyote, you name it. This fall, he is passing it down to my oldest daughter with a brand new Burris scope on it.

You don't get this thread do you JoshT

Oh... I get it... I just think it's funny arguing about "the best .270". That's like arguing about the "best looking fat chick"... or the "best compact car"... or the "best democratic candidate"... or the "best 4th place team"... you get my point.

Laffin..

I would start by buying the one that fits YOU the best. Bout everybody makes a shootin iron that'll shoot sub moa, without much heart ache.

 :)Anyone remember the thread about the most "over rated" cartridges? I do, 7mm rem mag won, hands down. It is a mostly noise, barrel burning waste of time. and alot of folks on this site, besides me agreed. By the way, I shot the barrel out of a 700 rem 7mm mag, killed a lot of deer and elk with one. I know a bit about it.
7mm is a great diameter, the 280 and 7mm-08 both are great , 7X57 also.
but back to the post, 270 is a wonderful cartridge. most any newer name brand one will work fine.

The majority of folks thought Obama was the best choice to lead our nation... does that make them right?

[scoyoc5]

dude let it go.. The post is about 270's can we get back to that 

[C-Money]

josht, take it to heart that in your mind you have an advantage over others out hunting cause you carry a 7mm mag. You seem to be a very passionate fellow. From the looks of your location, "sweeping leg kicks" and the fancy snake picture, you must be a fighter of some sort. If you take that passion to the ring or where ever you compete, you must do well. Good luck this hunting season. I am looking forward to seeing your success pic's.

Knock down power is not a "theory"... it's a complete fabrication of epic status... kind of like Big Foot. Bullet through hydraulics (heart/large vessles), asperation (lungs), or Central Computing (brain/spine) = dead critter... the rest is just minutia.

That being said... don't get me started on the ways the 7mm Rem whoops the .270 Winny's azz.

Ok I know these are just factory loads. But I fail to see the big difference in these too calibers. I grabbed two federal premium loads, both shooting 140gr Nosler accubonds.

Soooo..... I realize these are just factory loads, and that handloads are a whole different ball game. But Looking at those ballistics the difference between the two isn't anything to brag about. Granted this information might favor the .270 slightly because I realize a 140gr .277 bullet will have have slightly better B.C. than a 7mm bullet of the same wieght.
