I love my Whelen (M700 CDL) but have always wanted a Model 70 so chambered. My old Remington shoots too well to mess with though.


Scotty, why does it not surprise me that half the posts on a Whelen thread are from you? LOL

Just do it... find a .270 M70 and get 'er rebored. Best thing you could do to a .270...


I know Kurt. Guilty as charged.

It's hard to give the boot to my CDL though. It literally stacks 250 PTs with RL15. It's just always sitting there, ready to hunt.




...everyone knows the factory 16" twist will not stabilize 250's...:o) ......yeah right.... ;-)

I had a 700 Classic Whelen as well as a tang safety Ruger Whelen, the both shot 250's very well.

one of those old wive's tales that refuses to die.


My Classic shot the Barnes Original 275s just as well as it did any other bullet... I was obviously the limiting factor.
