[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1551416, member: 69192"] Thanks for writing back. I figured that I was going to hear about the .270 WSM comment, that's the reason that I wrote it carefully as I did. I never really was a great .270 Winchester fan until I picked an older, beat up Ruger 77 round top that was really cheep ($400 with a VARI X III 3.5 X 10 scope), it was too good of a deal to pass up. I started shooting it and found that the recoil was not bad and it was very accurate. From there my son started shooting it at 300 yards and really fell in love with it. We bear hunt so our rifles basically are .35 and .45 calibers with the exception of the 30-06 and a .308 Winchester and one Encore in 7mmRemMag. A friend bought a new Winchester mod 70 in .270WSM, and I shot that and really liked the rifle, how it performed and the low recoil on his rifle. He took the rifle on a mule deer/antelope hunt in Wyoming (?) shot an antelope at 320 yards and a mule deer at 486 yards, both one shot and DRT.
