CRS,if I do get the Tribute .270 it'll be my fourth .270 in the gunsafe.

Pare down my collection THE HORROR!

Cowboytim,sounds like a good start.

Still you protest. Sad day, best wishes. Do you have a large wrist watch too?

I have a 270 and have no problem with leopard print thongs.

That's a woman made for 270 lovers!

Are you saying she's packing something up front then?

That's a good start.

Need a lightweight one, pre-64, supergrade, FWT, classic, FN, tribute rifles, and various itinerations of each in wood/blue/stainless/wood, cerakote/wood, cerakote synthetic, etc. One as a donor for kids, one as a donor for adults.

No large wristwatch, tend to use the sun when I am out in the woods though.

What do they say? you can lead a horse 7x57 user to water to the truth, but you can not make them drink see the obvious.

Lets see,have the Super Grade,bought it in late 1991 early 1992. The Classic is a .270 Wby. Have the FN Mauser .270. Would like a Pre '64 FWT to go with my Pre '64 FWT .30-06.

So many .270's so little money.

I would expect nothing less from a 270 poster.

A 7x57 poster would have us all washing our eyes with bleach. As the thongs they seem to post are on gentlemen, and less than desirables. And they call us gay?

They are a complicated bunch.

The defendend .270 user admits in a round about way that, yes, there are, to him "desireable" gentlemen.

The prosecution rests.

That was being polite to some of the "women" they post in thongs. You know, the kind you need 5 lbs of bacon to bait and a 5 lb bag of flour. If your into that sort of thing.

Might as well rest, you're probably tired from lugging around those oversized, underpowered 7x57 rounds through the woods...

I can like that rig a lot. I call dibs when you're ready to sell it.

Ready it is hard from a distance,sometimes , to tell the barbs from the TIC posts....I am still not good at it. Tom(Ingwe) and I do some back and forth banter on the 270 and the 7x57 for chuckles and to get a rise ot of each other.

In truth, I am very fond of the 270....and the 280...and the 7x57...and the 30/06...and the 7/08.....anything really in that power range.I'll gladly hunt with any of them.

This is definitely all in good fun.

After having owned, 25's, 6.5's, 7mm's, and 30's. All good cartridges in their own right. I will disagree with BobinNH in the fact that I will not gladly hunt with any of them as I still prefer a 270.

There is simply a comfort level that has developed over the last 30+ years.

With that being said, the only other cartridge I would consider. IF I had to go back and do it all over again would be the 280 Remington. Funny enough, I have never owned one. Reason: I already have a 270.

I simply love the fact that I can load 85gr TSX's to 180gr Woodleigh's. Crank it up to max potential or use moderate to reduced loads with good effect.

You can say the same thing about a multitude of other cartridges, but the simple fact remains that I have been there, done that with a whole pile of 270 rifles.

I think I like the .270 better with a 26" barrel, so I don't especially want a 22", M70 or otherwise.

But for the .270 in general, it's hard to knock five shots at deer & five bang flops. I'm going to hunt a .25-06 this year, one of Dad's old rifles, but will have my #1 .270 along for backup.

hmmm...drinking and the yak come sup again...
