Guest Wizard3686 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 i was thinking about gettin a rem 700 .270 or a savage in .270 it would mostly be used for deer and hopefully sum time i might get a bear tag but i wanted to know what you all think of the .270 how does it shoot and all of that good stuff i normaily use a 30 30 but for sum reason i can not shoot that thing my dad has a browning in 06 and i love that gun so how would the 270 compare to the 06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 I own a Remington 700 ADL in .270. I love the gun. We have many guns in our closet, but when it comes to hunting whitetail the .270 is a hot caliber. You can get some decent ranges out to the gun, my max shot with it was 242yards and the deer did not move an inch. I shoot the Remington 140gr Core-Lokt Ultra. With this shell I can shoot consistant 3/4" groups at 100yards, out of a bench. According to the Remington website you are still carrying 1200 ft/lbs at 400 yards, that is plenty to put down a deer. Plus the gun has little to no recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 270 is a necked down 30-06 and a lot of the people like the 270 a bunch. if your wanting soemthign to shoot deer and blackbear your fine withthe 270 but if you want to go qirth something with a little more bite to it go to the 308 or 30-06 you get a bit more weight for your bullet and a bit more knock down power rob k for me and i am bias i prefer the 308 to any other caliber for any kind of hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wizard3686 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Thanks for all the repleys it is mostly for deer and most of my shots are no less then a 100 yards so i think i will be ok with it and if i do draw a bear tag i think i would use my dads 06 auto loader lol a lil bit faster on the second shot if i need to be lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Buy it. The .270 is a great round, and will make short work of any deer or black bear if you do your part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 The .270 will reach well beyond the 100yard mark. They are VERY fast, flat, and dependable. I have two 30-06's or I would buy a .270 in a heart beat. They really are a great, great round. I doubt youll find to many that say a single bad word about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 I luv the calibur, have had 2 of them. They hit hard and shoot flat.

Guest Wizard3686 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Thanks Alot everyone like i said be for if i happen to get a bear tag and dont feel right using the 270 it will be my dads 06 i could put all the nails in a house with that thing and for think swamps it will be my old 30 30 but thanks for all the repleys maybe i will have sum pics to show everyone once we can hunt here in michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 If you don't feel the .270 Win is enough gun, the .30-06 won't do the job either. They are about identical in performance. Using today's components you can take just about anything in this country with the .270 Win. The .270 Win, the .280 Rem, and the .30-06 are all outstanding performers on big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 The .270 is a great gun. Like the others stated, the 30-06 and the .270 are basically identical cartriges, just different calibers. If I had to choose between .270 and .30-06, I'd take the .270.

TexasDeerHunter Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 I have owned a couple and it is a great cartridge. I do recommend going with a Remington rifle. It will outlast and outshoot the other, it also has a better trigger than most and can be adjusted by a good gunsmith. I will add that if you get a new rifle, strip the gun down and make sure that it has a good wood to metal fit, clean the barrel, and tighten everthing down well before shooting it. I have taken rifles and just tightened screws or did a little stock work to releive the barrel and had them go from shooting 3in groups to less than 1in groups at 100yds. Good Luck.

wtnhunt Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Been hunting with a remington model 700 in .270 for over 10 years now. Been really happy with that gun. Use 150 grain core lokts. Longest shot I have taken deer with was just under 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colorado Bob Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Get the 30/06 over the 270. More bullet choices & factory loads than the 270. Plus when it comes time to go out west----the 30/06 is a much better elk caliber than the 270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 My best friend has a Browning BLR in .270 and he can drive tacks at 200 yards with it. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wizard3686 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Well i am gonna go look at the 270 this weekend and see how much they run i think that would suit me just find sents i will only be takeing deer with it and most of my shots wont be over 100 yards if that maybe only 50 to 70 yards really and i doubt i will be heading out west any time soon lol im way to broke for that one and from what all you have said i think it will take a bear with out a problem but which one would you buy the remington 700 packge with the scope and all or a savage package with the scope and are the scopes any good i will only use it till i can save up the money and buy a good one and put that one on my 30 30 Thanks all for your replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Its a toss up between the big three, Rem 700, Win 70, and the Savage 110. Personally, I would not waste the money on the package guns. The scopes are junk. Get a good scope and you will be much better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 I shoot the 06 and love it but the 270 would do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 I own a Browning A-Bolt Medallion in .270, LOVE IT! Its topped with a Nikon Monarch 3x9x40. Wouldnt use anything else for deer, well, except the bow now! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Re: What do you all think of the .270 Have to agree with AJ. The scopes on the package guns while they are functional, they are not all that great. Bought my wife a savage model 10 package gun with a scope about 3 or 4 years ago, I changed the simmons scope out to a nikon buckmaster scope this year, what a difference.
