[QUOTE="Chopaka81, post: 169021, member: 9217"] I hunted many years with a 270 (Rem M700 BDL) and a Loopy VXII 3x9. My deer load was a Sierra 130gr SPBT. I have had nothing but outstanding success with that classic load at 3000 fps. Then came the trap shooting bug and I sold that rifle (and a couple others) so I could purchase a medium grade O/U doubles shotgun. - STUPID MOVE!!!! The empty spot in my vault where that 270 once was, screamed at me. This past year for my "to me - from me - thank me very much" Christmas gift, I purchased a Tikka T-3 Lite Stainless in 270 WCF. It is a lights out 1/4 moa shooter. I used a 20x target scope to develope the new handload. This time for hunting purposes I chose to scope the T-3 with a Loopy VX1 2x7. It has a couple dots that are spaced 2 moa (at 7 power) down from the horizontal cross hair on the vertical duplex wire. This makes for a very handy re-zero for 300 & 400 yds according to my ballistics program with a 2 inch high zero at 100 yds. You will notice the lesser quality of the VX-1 glass, but it is good enough for what I need. :rolleyes: My dark timber elk load is a 160 Nosler Semi-Spitzer @ 2700 fps. Later, Don [/QUOTE]
