[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 361912, member: 8712"] I always thought the .270 was the best do it all with one gun calibre. Well maybe except for grizzlies. But with a (previously) limited bullet selection in the past and the refusal of maufacturers to put 26" barrels on standard calibre rifles ( to $ave what, maybe 10 or 20 dollars on the price) I guess that's why its sort of non-popular( notice I didnt say unpopular) for LRH. Ammo sales for the 270 is about third on list of all ammo sales, with 30-06 and 7mm Rem Mag ahead of it on the list. I just bought three .270s in last three yrs and liked them all. I kept the left handed one and sold the other two. But for longer shots it would be soooo much better with a 26" barrel. I made mine to a mtn type gun with everyhting weighing as lil as possible, so my whole .270 rig weighs 7.7# including the sling. One good thing is ammo is cheap and you can get rounds in most general stores. I may go for a pricier scope this year for it, but my bet is I can dump anything on its as_ at 500y. Good luck with your 270, its a great round. [/QUOTE]
