Want Opinions on .270s

[AlpineFox]

Hey guys,
I am relatively new to guns. I have shot different guns, but now I am looking for one for myself.
After I find out when and where to take Hunter Safety and PAL, I am going to start looking for a entry level (or close to one) .270
Any suggestions form anybody?
Also, dont mind if it is used, as long as its worth the money.

Stevens mod 200 or Savage edge inexpensive and accurate what more could you want?

 

[Why not?]

Agreed, and I would suggest you take a look at the Marlin XL7 as well.

Not meaning to Hi-jack here but; How do the .270Win compare with the new .270WSSM?

270 will do all that you ask of it and more. Good caliber choice. Visit a reputable dealer and shoulder several different makes and models, and find the one that fits you best and enjoy.

The original .270 win is alot cheaper, alot more common and barely 100 fps slower with comparable bullets.

I don't own one, I personally wouldn't bother buying one but the short, fat cartridge does look cool I guess.

How is the recoil on these compared to other guns?

 

[AlpineFox]

I see alot of good things about Savage. I am looking into those more closely, especially the Edge.
What kind of scope would you guys suggest also?

 

[Applefarmer]

The best you can afford, you can always upgrade. The Savage packages come with a scope, not the best but as I stated, you can always upgrade.

Go to your local Canadian Tire and they'll have package deals to give you an idea, most of the supporting vendors of CGN can and will beat the price of CTC.

The .270 is a good all around cartridge unless your hunting dangerous game. It's readily available, reasonably flat shooting and the recoil is mild.

Find a rifle that fits you well and start whackin' deer!

do you guys know anywhere to get good prices on .270s online?

So who is bothering to build a 270WSSM?

The 270wsm will give you a few hundred feet per sec more velocity but ammo will cost you alot more unless you handload.

Cheers!!

Yeah, check the sponsors on the banner at the top of the page. I got quick service from several dealers here, lately from Frontier Firearms.

 

[TheTooner]

Trust Trade Ex Canada to give good service, a fair description of their used guns, and great prices. Most of their hunting guns seem to come from Europe where the .270 is less common than here, but you may find one. Ellwood Epps stocks lots of used guns and also has a good reputation amongst the Gunnutz.

I just got a Mossberg 4x4 in .270 win and its deadly accurate to the end of our local range which is 206 Meters...and feels as good in my hands as any of my levers....This to me was $$$ well spent

 

[Pickles]

The 270 is an incredible cartridge!


As soon as you neck it down to .257
