[QUOTE="Alfred Crouch, post: 282737, member: 13464"] My choice of scope for the 270 would be a Leupy Vari X III 4.5 x 14 x 40 with an AO. Wonderful scope. I have tried a good many calibers and finally settled in with the 270 caliber. About 85 % of my hunting for the last 39 years has been with a 270 and I have had a number of them. I hunt mostly in SC and TN with white tailed deer being my largest quarry. The most accurate round I have shot was 35 grains of 3031 powder pushing a 85 gr. speer boat tail bullet out of a 6 mm rifle. I never felt adequately gunned with the 243 or 6 mm rifles for white tailed deer even though I used 105 gr Speer bullets in them. Many people love them though. The 270 would do everything the 06 would do with less powder and noticeably less recoil. However if I lived out west I would seriously consider the 7mm or 300 WM. Wonderful thing abiout this country ....... the right to choose and use the one we want ....... or at least that [B]has been[/B] the case. [/QUOTE]
