[QUOTE="bobaran, post: 64286, member: 3981"] I agree with Brian B. and BuffaloBob. You should look at the 270 Weatherby. I purchased a Mark V 270 WBY mag from an estate sale. It had a 26" barrel, accubrake and a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9 x 40 (which is a very modest scope). After rough sighting the rifle at 25 yds, I shot a group at 100yds. It was 5/8"!!! I re-adjusted the scope to achieve 0" at 300 yds, and shot again. I got another 5/8" group. I figured the first group might be luck, but not two of them in a row. I've been shooting and hunting all my adult life (54 yrs and counting), have shot lots of rifles and have never produced anything close to that accuracy, even with varmint-scoped rifles. As a follow-up, I dropped a wild boar in its tracks with my new 270 WBY. Unless you plan on hunting grizzlies or polar bear, you should consider a 270 WBY mag with accubrake. It is a joy to shoot and should be classified as a laser-guided weapon. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
