Ok...I'm feeling charitable. Send all CRF models to Pappy and all push feed to me. My 721 has never given me one problem...I have mastered the art of push feeds I guess.

The Campfire has tremendous power to influence public opinion. No doubt about it.
The tongue-in-cheek attacks against the 270 have created a wave of anti-270 sentiment that has spread far and wide, like the ripples on a lake. Thousands of gun owners who have never heard of the Campfire have received the subliminal message that 270s are gay, or ineffective, or somehow bad. The young gun buyers of today don't know the writings of Jack O'Connor.
The used gun racks are quickly filling with 270s that the dealers can hardly give away, except as donor actions. These same dealers will soon report overwhelming demand for 7x57s and 280s. Most buyers will have to settle for 30/06s until the factories can ramp up the manufacture of more 7x57s and 280s and 284s.
Any of you guys that still have a 270, it's too late. They aren't worth anything on the resale market now. You should have listened to the advice of the 'Fire and traded them off before now. We saw this coming.
Those that ignore the words of the Grand Pubba do so at their own risk. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k579/CowboyTimmy/DSC08999_zpsd08ce794.jpg) I'll take my chances...haven't had a 130 grainer bounce off a critter yet....

Yep, the .270 Win is good for jackrabbits and smaller game.
BTW, I'll be in a trophy elk unit this Sept during rut. It took me 20+ years to get drawn in the unit. I'll be hunting with my 40+ year-old Model 700 in .270 Win with 150 grain Partitions. If I put one where it'll stop oxygenated blood to its brain, my guide & I will have a lot of work to do.
Then it'll be back to jackrabbits for my .270 Win.

I have rifles chambered for other cartridges but I use and love the 270 because it annoys so many people on here.  
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Funny as a teenager I studied the ballistics charts and read all the hype of the 270 and was always verry fond of it tho I chose a 30/06 and with such spectacular results of the 06 I never bothered hunting with A 270. I have several really nice ones and I should get them out and draw some blood.

That's funny...I was shopping for an '06 when I bought my .270, really liked the rifle and I didn't think there was a whitetail alive that could tell the difference...still don't.

Among the reasons there are lots of .270's for sale is so many have been made since 1925.
Was in the LGS that sells more used rifles than the others last week. Found four Remington 700 BDL's on the used rack in .270 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, .30-06 and .300 Winchester Magnum, all from the same era and all in about the same decent condition. It was as if somebody decided to buy a BDL in each of the four most popular big game chamberings in the U.S., then couldn't decide which one he liked best so sold them all!
Have a friend who's a real .270 nut and have been giving him .30-06 grief for years, even though I've probably owned (and hunted with) just as many .270's as he has. In fact the last time we hunted together I took a .270 and killed a deer, but apparently he doesn't remember that. He's too easy to get started....

The .280 Remington is what the .270 is hoping to be. JOC even said so, and Carmichael backs that up. (Really doesn't matter unless you want to load 7mm bullets.)
