[QUOTE="Chopaka81, post: 365803, member: 9217"] If the 270 Win is not worthy - neither is [U][I]ANY[/I][/U] 308 or [U][I]ANY[/I][/U] -06 based cartridge. I have hunted with a 270 Win since 1980. I used the Sierra 130gr SBT then - I use the Sierra 130gr SBT now. My current 270 Win is a Tikka T-3 Lite, for every 3 shot group the first 2 shots always touch, the third is just a hair out of the group. The velocity delta out of the Tikka barrel is 10 fps. During the 2008 season I took a buck down a 385 yds with it, nothing special, for my 7 lb rifle. All I saw after the shot was antlers and legs flying thru the scope and he tumbled down the side of the mountian. The rifle is topped with a top of the line Leupold Scope. It is a VX1 2-7x33 LR Duplex scope :D. It is a real beauty of a scope... who "needs" a Night Force? Reminds me of the Best Sniper tv show I saw on the Military channel this past weekend. It featured a WWII era Army Sniper, he is now over 85yrs old. The AMU at Ft Benning presented him with a fully restored 03-A4 complete with the original sniper scope - the scope tube looked like it was .75". The Army let the old sniper shoot the -A4 rifle on their 500 yd range. All 3 shots were on Target on the same vertical line as he worked them upwards to a near perfect shot. Bare in mind this was the first time this old sniper fired the rifle. Then that old sniper got to shot a "modern" sniper rifle at 1000 yds, he put in a 5" group at 1000yds, all center mass, and the 2 young snipers (the Army's current top sniper team) stood there gap jawed as the old sniper proceeded to give them a shootin' lesson they will never forget. All the young snipers could say is how they marveled at how the guys of "days gone by" could do what they did with those old sticks. The point is guys, it ain't about the size of the stick (or the scope) - it is about "the skill" on the trigger and behind the scope. If you wanna shoot 1000 yds or more - better put in the range time. gun) [/QUOTE]
