The .270 Win club, are you in?

A while back, I voided my 270 membership when I parted with the model 3000 Husqvarna I had. I have since rejoined with the purchase of a Vanguard S2 in 270 from a site member.



Then, to match and keep it company, from another site member, I purchased a second 'flame thrower', this one on 300WM. A third site member sold me a matching scope for the 270.

 
I know I am exposing myself to ridicule (Douglas), but the .270 just made too much sense for my purposes, riding the berth between my .22-250 and .350 Rem Mag in the "rainy weather" set;

I try to keep an open mind.......... and I love horses for courses and don't own a .270........ but I have to admit that there are times it makes sense to do so......

It's just another cartridge to me.......
 
I used to be a member of the club .
From 1984 , until recently, i was the owner of a Browning BBR. That nice rifle had a 24'' barrel and a flat fore-end making it the ideal beanfield rifle. As a walking hunter , the need for a shorter and lighter rifle came. The BBR didn't saw much action for a too long period justifying to keep it.
I now have among others , a 30-06 Featherweight who makes me think about the '' Rifleman rifle ''. So , i'm now looking for another Winchester in that nice caliber
that is the .270 Win.

:) Yes, I know what you mean. It's one of the more common and popular cartridges that over the years, I had never owned. Then, got to thinking, ;) perhaps while I'm hopefully still able to get some field use and enjoyment out of it, perhaps I should fill that void in my selection. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :p .
 
J C Higgins Model 50 IN 270. Bit of a sleeper and in my opinion equal to a firearm well North of $1000 to have one built todaY.
 
I had one once....... and I loved that thing, Sold it out of stupidity of course and the 270 was just too practical ;)

Marlin XL7, I bought it for $267 OTD at WSS back in 2012 put a $199 Leupold VX-1 2-7 on it and that thing shot cloverleafs.

Well built rifles those Marlins were, (the silver safety ones IMO). I'd buy it back.......

:) I think many of us have been in your shoes at some time or other. I know I certainly have. :cool: Like your photo.
 
I've been in since 1996. 1962 Winchester model 70 standard and a few years ago added a Weatherby Mark V ultralight. Had a 2009 Winchester model 70 featherweight but sold it when I picked up another featherweight in a different cartridge. The .270 is my go to when I'm out for deer with the chance of elk.
 
A friend dropped this off last week. I need another sako like I need a hole in the head... need some control here
Nice sako av laminate with iron sites in 270 win



 
First rifle I ever bought was a savage edge in 270 and then a Remmington 700 BDL in 270. Sold the Savage to a co-worker who begged me to sell it to him as it was all his wife would let him have.

Traded the Remmington on a Browning X-bolt in 7mm mag

Then ended up buying another Savage 114 american in 270, still have that one
 
I'm in.. Mossy 4x4, matte stainless with fluted barrel, grey laminate stock and adjustable trigger. 3-9x40 Bushnell trophy scope and harris bipod. Still working on tuning and getting used to it as up till now I've been a slug gunner. So far though I can see it getting a lot of use as long as I can find some good ammo.
