Bought a .270 Today

[General RE LEE]

I've always been a fan of the .270 but haven't owned one in years. I've been piddling around my Hornady Ballistic app and comparing the .270 vs my 6.5 Creedmoor. One thing I've always liked about the .270 is how much performance it delivers for a semi mild recoil. I like the numbers a little better than the 6.5 CM. Plus the Tikka T3x Forest was being sold at cost so I got a deal. I also like the Tikka has a 22" barrel so good for the box blind and tree stand.

Anyone else a .270 fan?

Have a first generation Sendero in 270 win and I really like it

The 270 will never let you down, It's my " If I could only have one gun " as far as comparing it to the Needmoor, I think everyone knows how I feel about that

I agree I was always a 25-06 fan as well, but I really love this 270

I'm a 25-06 Nut but the 270 is the one for me if I could only pick one

I tend agree I was looking for a first generation Sendero in 25-06 when I ran across the 270 and I haven't looked for a 25-06 since

G1 Sendero .270? Jealous!!!!!!!!!!! I'd be thinking new barrel 1:8, 26 or 28" to toss heavyweights on that platform! I am still shooting my Savage 110C .270 I bought when I was 18....52 years ago! Ok do the math for my age. Still shoots even with new Shaw barrel.

I have a Remington Model 710 and A Winchester Model 70 CRF

I my look at that barrel swap but I probably shoot this one out first and it's a tack driver with factory ammo

Love the 270 Winchester, no matter what come down the pike I still have a couple around to hunt and shoot with. I feel the 277 caliber is underrated !

 

[tndeputy]

Agreed
