[QUOTE="Top Cat, post: 605690, member: 4532"] A new rifle is not a substitute for experience... it is common for inexperienced shooters to look to their equipment when there is a failure in the field, when quite often the rifles are more capable than the shooter. The 270 is an excellent round. A 270 with any Leupold scope is a fine Elk rig to 400 yds easily, if the rifle is working as it should and the bullet is placed accurately on target. Putting in time behind the trigger at long range is mandatory with any caliber to become a good marksman, and moving up to a magnum won't substitute for a lack of marksmanship, and might just make accurate shooting more difficult for an inexperienced shooter because of added recoil. You might consider adding a range finder, but I'd recommend shooting more. Find a range or some land where shooting at longer distance is a possibility and put the money that would have been spent on a new rifle into ammo and range time. Welcome to the site. TC [/QUOTE]
