[QUOTE="Rubber Ducky, post: 61907, member: 2135"] Hi Jonj; I have a Remington Sendero (heavy barrel) in .270Win, and with factory ammo I can get 1/4" groups at 100 yards. My son has a Browning A-bolt hunter in 7mm-08 and he has comparable groups. The longest shot I've made at a deer is 475 yards, which dropped a few minutes later. Both rifles are light kicking and very accurate. We use ours mostly for mule deer hunting on the open plains and foothills out here in Alberta. The only drawback with my rifle is that it does get to be a bit on the heavy side at times, especially when we're hiking the up and down the draws and ridges. The one thing we noticed at the range is that my son has to let his barrel cool if he wants to maintain his groups, while I can keep pounding away at the target with no real worries about "fliers" wrecking my groups. We both use bipods and we find that for long shots that helps us to keep the rifle steady. Besides mulies, the other game we chase with our rifles up here in Alberta is white-tail deer, elk, moose, bear, wolf and coyote. I like the .270Win myself but all are fine calibres and so it really comes down to what you want. Cheers, RD [/QUOTE]
