Hey Curly, I went with the Leupold M8-6x on my M70 XTR Fwt .270 Win. Clean classic scope. Never felt the need for anything else on this particular .270 Win. My latest M70 just arrived (still in the box) It's a Classic Featherweight in .270 WSM and I'm trying to decide what to scope it with. Likely, it will end up with a Leupold variable in Talley lightweight one-piece mounts. Here's a pic of the .270 Win. with a nice whitetail it accounted for a couple seasons back...yup, that's a decelerator pad on the butt as the stock was shortened slightly to fit my daughter.
