Recommendation for my first 270 rifle? Price range $1000

If you use the wrong lubricant in your gun ANY FIREARM will freeze up and seize in extreme weather. I exclusively use dry graphite up here. My Winchester model 70 ran like a top in colder than -40c this past winter. Those 3 dudes probably used the same wrong oil from the one bottle. If its wrong for one gun then its more wrong in 3 guns.....

Ive owned alot of cartridges. Ive narrowed down my bug game hunting battery to 270win and 338 win mag. Both in Xbolts. Covers everything. Killed alot of game with a 270win. Good bullets like the accubond.
Vanguard or a Rem 783. The 783's really shoot! There are some short cuts on it to make you cringe but they shoot! Floated barrel, double pillar bedded, adjustable trigger, sturdy stock. The advantage of the 783 is that you can put a decent optic on it and still stay under a $1000. The optic will probably cost more than the rifle! My 783 (in .308) is the most consistent and accurate rifle in my locker right now. IMHO, stay away form the Ruger American and XPR.... *crap*
Anyway, these are good dilemmas. Good luck with your choice.

It was just something I remember coming across while figuring out what I wanted for my first rifle. Like I said I read it once so might warrant further research for a serious consideration.
if on this forum we are getting good advice where are we heading ....?
listen the man.
I went with the winchester M70 Ultimate Shadow Hunter .270. I've only shot 2 rounds through it so far and it was mint. It's currently getting my new leupold vx 2 3x9x40 mounted and bore sighted. I can't wait to get it back and see what it does.

Bryce, don't let these guys talk you out of the 270, If that is what you want go get one.
I am sure you will have the opportunity to own and shoot other guns during your lifetime.
The 270 has not been a bad choice since 1925.

I see i'm a bit late good choice.

I have a Sako Hunter in 270 win and it is my favourite rifle in my collection. Sako are hard to beat! (but i am sure winchester, browning and CZ makes very good ones too)
