[QUOTE="NorCalRiceGuy, post: 2009294, member: 65754"] Growing up my father had a custom .270 Win made by Hansen Custom Rifles. Just after WW II my grandfather had a match set of rifles made, one a .300 H&H and the other the .270. When he stopped hunting in the mid-50s, he gave the .300 to my uncle and the .270 to my dad as an upgrade to the sporterized star-barrel Springfield .30-06 that my dad had as a deer rifle. Dad passed the .30-06 to me and I killed several deer with it, too. Sadly, my home was broken into not long after I was married and the .30-06 was stolen, never to be recovered. To replace it, I bought a Colt-Sauer .270 Win and topped it with a Leupold VX-II 3x9-40. Smooth as silk action and the first three shots out of it were all touching at 100 yards. Still shoots the same 40 years later and it has accounted for everything from squirrels at 200 yards with Sierra 90 gr. hollow points to 300# mule deer in Wyoming with hand-rolled 130 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips (which I will never shoot again, but that's a whole other story). [/QUOTE]
