[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1718643, member: 60453"] I went out today and zeroed my 1903 A3 at 100 yards and verified at 425 and 475 on steel. I don't mind the recoil. I also shot my Whelen out to 480 yards with the Sierra bullets. I like the 270, and since you have ammo for it, you should get it. Its a good round and the rifles made for it are by and large very, very accurate. But I'm happy with the 'A3 and 0.6 groups at 100yds with center mass hits at 425 and 475 yards, using Sierra 180 grain ProHunter spitzers ( the range I'm a member of only goes to 600 yards, and I get center mass hits on steel at 500 and 600 yards there on days when the wind isn't blowing at 20mph). But its big brother just hits like a sledge hammer at distance. Back to the 270. It'll do the job, and is a pleasure to shoot. If you get one, a Ruger Hawkeye, a Remington CDL, a Browning or a Savage will do you well. If you don't mind a blind magazine, a Remington ADL will work, and the Ruger American is a great(not pretty at all, but great) rifle. I forgot about the Remington BDL, which has open sights(for those days when you just have to break your scope). The nice thing about the Remington 700 CDL, SPS series and ADL series is that they have 24 inch barrels in .270 Win and 30-06.
