[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 576253, member: 23225"] Wait.. you do realize this is a forum...95% of the **** we blabber about on here is "opinionated". Realize that this guy is a beginner. We have been Pming for a couple of days and hes looking to get started in the obsession we all share. He is like me, hes a hunter. Not a fancy target shooter or competition junky. Hes a hunter. He's looking to get a .270wsm or a .270win. I told him that the .270wsm would be great and offer him alot more benefits over the .270win. I dont think he would have posted this thread if he wanted answers like "Goodluck and sometimes you get good guns and sometimes you get bad ones by going for production rifles." When I post a thread I want people to give me their opinion! The more biased the BETTER! I think the guy knows that factory rifles are not as "wonderful" as custom rifles. But hes an average hunter trying to get started with shooting. In my OPINION..it comes down to features and feel. As you said they are both pretty good rifles.. but I just think browning is in another class than the winchesters. Maybe not 20 years ago, but today I will GLADLY stand up and say that winchester has gone down hill from what they used to be. Once again.. caution.. this is my opinion only.
