buying a 270 but dunno what brand!

[Goatman]

I've shot the remington and savage. I know there's other ones just seeing if there's one y'all would recommend.

First things first -

What is your budget?
What use will the .270 receive? Range, hunting, truck gun?

 

[dantheman]

I agree with the above . You can spend a lot or you can be conservative . It's a good round either way .

I own both in .270 WIN (Savage Model 110, and a Remington Model 700)....Both makes are very accurate, reliable rifles. Most people will likely choose the Remington- but I have absolutely no complaints about the Savage. Those guys are making some really good shooters.


I also bought a Browning BAR in .270 WIN from a member here a few months back, and will be taking it out with me, this weekend.


Congrats on making a great choice in caliber. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

There are many name brands to choose from; and many are great. But let me share a revelation that came over me in the last decade that could influence your choice.

I hunt my ass off; and I used to be a rifle purist in that I always believed that a nice looking wall hanging type rifle was essential to look and feel like I was doing my passion the proper respect. You know, great looking wooden stock, no scratches, out of box appearance, etc.

Now, I realize that synthetic rifles make a whole hell of a lot of sense for hunting. I mean after all, why do I care if there is a little mud on my synthetic stock; or water. What matters is the accuracy and the performance. Sure, a fine wooden stock looks pretty, but I am not hunting to win a fashion show; and I sure as hell am not running in a popularity contest with anyone.

Rugged, durable, less worry, less cleaning, no scratches, no dings; no water stains; etc., etc.

I have really nice wooden rifles, and my Browning BAR 30.06 is by far my most favorite rifle, but I will never look at them the same when synthetic makes so much sense.

I have a Remington model 700 and it is nice to shoot haven't shot much past 100 yards with but it has a smooth action and a clean trigger break.

I bought a Savage 110 in .270 with the adjustable 'Accu trigger' last year because i no longer wanted to use my Omega made by Hi-Shear Corp. (Too Valuable) it belongs in a glass case instead, or better yet a safe. Anyways, Savage are very accurate well made but underrated rifles. Killed a 135 lb. doe in Alabama last season and it killed it just as dead as my rifle worth thousands. Do what you want but my advice to you is get a Savage and with what you save you can get a real quality scope.

This^ is the most important factor on ANY gun deemed accurate; and regardless of how inexpensive it was! If all I could find was a single shot crack barrel rifle; I would spend the money on good optics!

You ought to see what I'm using for "primitive weapon" season this year. Think H&R and think S&B....

You're my kind of whack job!

Hell, I already feel guilty shooting them with the Handi-Rifle and a half decent Simmons; and calling it primitive!
