bigblueraptor Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 i recently bought a rifle that i feel may be the all around greatest whitetail combo evry one says that the 270, 30-06 etc are the greatest guns ever i read how people feel on here about them and usually these two chambers are #1 on peoples list i couldnt decide which one i wanted so i studied i came up with a model 70 chambered in 270wsm this gun has the flat trajectory of the 270 and the energy of the 06 i put on a limbsaver recoil pad and a nikon buckmaster 4.5x14x40 scope ive shot two deer this year a doe and a 8 pointer the doe was pushing 300 yds im using winchester supreme power points in 150 grain this is with out a doubt the greatest hunting rifle ive ever had but that is just my .02 cents anybody else out there using the short mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: perfect rifle I am like you and stay out of the box on the most popular calibers. Sounds like you found a good huntin buddie there.. LOL I love my 300 ultra mag. Just tons of confidence in its long range accuracy and tremdous knock down power. Plus its a very pretty gun. Remington 300 UM with gray laminant stock in stainless steel with a flat black Leupold 3.5x10x50 Var III scope and scope mounts, black sling and butt pad. Just the sweetess looking and accurate gun I ever had. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robk Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: perfect rifle perfect gun is the 308 bar none but not saying this because i own one it the truth and i love shooting mine for sure. saying that i know everyone has their favorites but the 308 i just went back to it and i am really enjoying shooting it again. if i was going to try out a magnum the 270 wsm would be my choice as my number 1 mag caliber for sure but for the best all around gun out there try a 308. good luck by the way iwth the new 270wsm it is definately a shooter rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: perfect rifle The "perfect" rifle is the one that you can shoot the best and that's adequate for the job at hand. Here's mine: Savage 116 Stainless Synthetic 7 MM Rem MAG Custom Trigger Custom Barrel Porting (kicks less than a .243) Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 140 gr Leupold VXIII 3x9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: perfect rifle My perfect rifle is the one I happen to grab to use that day. I shoot many rifles in chamberings from .243 Win to .338 Win Mag. Each one will do what I want it to do as long as I do my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
