[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2008892, member: 307"] Congratulations on your new addition. The Tikka I don't know, but the .270 Win I'm familiar with. The .270 Win in a Ruger M77 was my first deer rifle and my first steps in to LR. That was before lazer rangefinders and ballistic apps. I did a lot of walking, "ciphering", counting "clicks" but consistently killed deer. After the Ruger and I parted ways I went the magnum route and continued to enjoy many more kills at all ranges. I acquired a Win 70 Coyote a few years later in .270 WSM and while I enjoyed the added ballistic reach I don't think I ever took an animal with it and eventually traded in to something else. I've owned a .270 Allen Magnum for approx. 5 years now and imo there really is no where else to go with the .277 caliber, especially with 170gn class and above projectiles. This round easily pushes 170's to 3500+fps with ease and no pressure signs. 30" Lija, 3g, 8t. Overbore? probably, but WoW! I can't shoot it without grinning. Earlier this year my nephew and I did some trading/bartering and I ended up with a Savage 114 in .270 Win. Classy looking little rife (22" barrel) and lighter than anything I had. The .270 AM weighs 14lbs without scope. I only had 135gn SMK's and 140gn NBT to try in it, and after pushing some of each downrange with IMR4831, I knew it was a keeper. Right before the rifle season I loaded 130gn Ballistic Tips, a max load of 6.5 Stabil and 9.5M and it shoots them at 3070fps into .5 MOA and under. The .270 Winchester; still delivering. [/QUOTE]
