[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 274012, member: 8712"] a short long range .270 story: 6 months ago I sold my Sav 111 RH .270 to a guy. It had a Bushnell 3-9x32 duplx on it. I sold it so I could buy a LH Sav .270 and put together a light mtn rifle, which I did ( it weighs 7.7# sling included). Any way the guy took it to the NRA Whittington Center in Raton and shot it offhand at 200yrds and called me and said wow you know how to sight in a rifle as the very first shot was 1" high at 200 but in the bull. He shot a box of shells off hand and had a good grouping at 200. SO he was happy about that. Last week he calls me from Tombstone and says wow, thats some rifle you sold me. I say why's that. He said he put it on friend's benchrest and rang the gong at 600 measured yards with first shot and every shot thereafter. In both locations he used 130gr HSM ammo I had bought a case of from Cabela's. So I would never underestimate the .270 in spite of 'expert' contrarian opines... [/QUOTE]
