[QUOTE="roaddog1m, post: 365812, member: 21260"] +1 for the 270! I have a Mod 70 Classic featherweight. Shoots under 3/4 MOA all day long if I don't warm up the barrel. It's a great little rifle for taking on long hikes. I usually shoot the 140gr Hornady BTSP and I have a confirmed white tail kill at 620yards in SD wind and numerous dead prairie dogs to its credit. I have a lot of confidence in it and I have no doubt that it will take an elk if I do my part. I also have a .308, but that's a special purpose rifle I usually only use for work. I have however taken a 6x5 white tail with it at 225yds. I'm the kind of guy who puts more emphasis on ability than on the latest greatest gadget though. I see too many guys who want to show off what they bought rather than what they've done. My Dad always said, "If you ever wonder if a guy is a half wit, count his fingers. Then if you're still not sure, start up a conversation about hunting with him." I think the old man was right! Anyone who thinks .270 is obsolete obviously spends more time reading gun magazines than he does hunting. Tom [/QUOTE]
