bigbearguy Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 What can you guys tell me about the 270 Weatherby Mag? I have a Rem. 7600 carbine in 30.06 and for this coming bear season I would like a rifle that I feel will give me a little more accuracy and a little more punch at longer ranges. My grandfater has a 270 Wby. Mag. that he said I could borrow if I wanted to. It is already sighted in and would just need a couple shots to verify that it is still on. I will be hunting in a clearcut that shots out to 300 yards and further could be quite common. Any other sugguestions that would be suitable, let me know? Thanks.

AJ Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: .270 Weatherby Mag. While the .270 Wby Mag is a decent cartridge, there is not a lot it will do that a 30-06 will not. Unless you are shooting over 300 yards, the 30-06 will work as well as the Wby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: .270 Weatherby Mag. I don't think the 270 wby mag is any more accurate than the 30-06...but your grandfathers gun may be more accurate than your gun. Shoot them both then take the one you shoot more accurately.

Guest Rolngthun Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Re: .270 Weatherby Mag. I had one several years ago. Back then I couldn't get shells locale. A box costed big dollars. It made a ton of noise. It is fast and shoots flat. I shot one doe with it. Head shot. Decided then it was way too much for deer. Very ugly. I sold it to my bud who goes out west alot, so he gets good use out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
