[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1573800, member: 106464"] I am an optimist. I believe that the 270 Winchester or maybe something like a 270/08 could be a fine long range target rifle but with two big ifs. The first big if: If a skilled gunsmith had the right barrel and action and stock and put all these things together properly for a talented and dedicated shooter. The second big if: If there were a supply of great target bullets in .277. There is no magic about the .22 caliber or the 6 mm caliber or the .30 caliber. There is a good selection of target bullets for these calibers and shooters who shoot them a lot. I think there is nothing wrong at all with the .277 or the .257 other than a lack of good target bullets and shooters that shoot them. [/QUOTE]
