I'm in withdrawal as I'm down to two 270s. I just gave away a 700 to one of my favorite young hunting ladies as hers was too much for her to carry.

Oh well.....I guess I can scrape by for this season.

Why the brake on the .270?? Not a criticism, just curious?

Not the OP, I picked up a youth 270 that already had a break on it.

Makes it very pleasant to shoot. If you couple it with reduced loads, you can hardly tell you fired it.

The brakes just looks cool, no other reason. Eddie has built several rifles for me and I put it on all of them. On the bigger guns, it helps kill the muzzle jump and makes for a quicker follow up shot..

Beautiful bear and rifle - congrats on a great trip.

.270 Win. That's the perfect cartridge for a hunt like that!

Just perfect in all ways. Thanks for sharing.

Nice bear, rifle and shot. My favorite cartridge, along with it the 30/06. So much can be done with these 2 they make most others almost pointless.


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H
