[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1700843, member: 104268"] Tried em both. My Benelli SBE II patterns tighter with a modified choke... The rifle is OK (1.25 MOA) with 140 Accubonds, but nowadays 270 is just a mediocre cartridge IMO. Kills like a creedmoor, kicks like an 06... In all seriousness, it's just not got anything going for it over many other cartridges these days. I[SIZE=14px]t's not powerful enough for murdering elk within it's accurate range, and it's not accurate enough for murdering deer within it's lethal range. The long neck soaks up most of the advantages gained by long action rifles, it kicks pretty hard for the power level, and high B.C. bullets are less common than unicorn tears. I [/SIZE]probably[SIZE=14px] will let it go though, as it sounds like there's no re-barrel options that would achieve a performance/dollar ratio that's tolerable for an X7 spare rifle.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
