Remington 700 .270
« on: March 07, 2012, 06:34:44 PM »
I've been trading a ton of my furs this year and have been picking up several rifles. Just got a used but new looking Remington 700 .270 tonight. The wood on it is beautiful. The guy said its a 80's model but looks like it just came out of the box.

Question, what is it worth? Not sure if I want to keep it or not, I just never say no to a gun  :chuckle:

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

 :(  geeez sorry dude those 270 rem 700's out of the 80s all shoot circular groups, the nicer the wood the bigger the circle. So being the kinda guy I am I've get rid of it for ya for  $100.00 or so, cash only! Lucky for you I have some circular bullet loads.  LOL :chuckle: I bet its nice.

Depends on model.  Does it have an ebony cap on the forearm?  White line spacers on pistol grip and butt plate (BDL)?  Or just a black narrow trim on the pistol grip with the ebony front cap?

It could be an ADL...cheapest, BDL...higher end, or Mountain which would be very desirable in that caliber.

Anyway, $450 up depending, Mountain..$700 up if like new,  and of course the nice wood adds to the desirability.

Got any pictures?  We could easily tell what it is.

It's an older ADL.  Looks to be pretty clean with some nice figure in the wood.  Most were straight grained.  Those go for anywhere from $350-maybe $550 at the high end, some with scopes.  I would guess that one is probably $400-$450.

Ok, now that you have that one, you probably don't need the Pro Hunter. $150  :drool: :chuckle:

LOL, I think I'll set th ADL up for my wife and or girls for the future. What would be a good load for caribou, deer, and or elk in the .270?

I'm thinking I'm looking at a 3-9 or 4-12  Leupold scope for it eventually. I have to get a couple more scopes for my Pro Hunter barrels first. I put that 4-12 Pentex on the .223 barrel. Thinking 4-12 Leupolds on the .243 and .25-06 barrels also.

Thats good to hear, I figure I traded about $300 worth of furs for it. The guy was transfering out of AK and really wanted some of its critters before he left.

I would say you got a good deal at that price.  Nice looking rifle and a good caliber. :tup:

Great rifle. All it really needs is a good recoil pad, especially if your wife and girls are going to use it.

It is a light rifle, don't know much about a .270 does it have much of a thump? I was thinking about like a .243? My wife has been shooting a .308 handi rifle but it weighs a ton.

Good round to shoot out of it?

My Browning A Bolt in 270 thumps me pretty good, especially with 150 grain loads. Less recoil with the 130's, and that weight is all you really need in a 270, but I'd still want a recoil pad on it, instead of that hard plastic butt plate.

A 270 isn't much different than a 30-06 when it comes to recoil. Way more than a 243.

You can always get the "managed recoil" loads. I think they use a 115 grain bullet at a reduced velocity. They would be very similar to a 243 load I would bet.

My X had an earlier model with the aluminum butplate and it was brutal with 150s.  If your going to set it up for your wife and girls id spend a little on it and have it fitted to them and a good recoil pad installed .  Then look at the lightest TSX bullet makes in 270 it should turn it into a very mild mannerred rig for everything up to moose.

Looking back at what I've written I might ad at the time I was sighting in my wifes gun I had a gunshop and range and spent a lot of time behind a lot of big magnums.  130s helped a lot.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska
