My first rifle was a Remington 511 22 rimfire when I was 12. I became a Remington fan, owned a bunch of Remington rifles, tried to like the 280 Remington, but always had better accuracy with a 270. I have owned 10 or 12, and loaded for several others. All shot acceptably or better. I currently own three, a Tikka, a Model 70 FWT, and a Stevens 200. All shoot very accurately.
When my group of hunters was entering federal property to hunt elk in 1989 we encountered four hunters coming out with four bull elk. One used a 300 Win. Magnum, one used a 280 Remington, and two used 270s.
