What will a long action in 270 do that a short action in 284 won't? Fit and feed better in a LH Model 70 action.

Lemme see. My wife and I have used the .270 on pronghorns, whitetails, mule deer, caribou, elk, moose and bison, with no problems. Didn't use it on the two bighorn ewes we've taken, or any black bears, but did use "faux .270's," including the 7x57, .280 and .30-06. Maybe .270 bullets would have bounced off the sheep and bears, but I doubt it.
Have seen it work in Africa too, even on some supposedly super-tough plains game animals. On Bison?

idahoguy,
Eileen killed a cow bison weighing around 900 pounds with a single 130-grain Barnes TSX through the lungs. The "buffalo" went went about 40 yards and keeled over. The bullet exited, by the way.
I know a guide on the Ft. Belknap Reservation here in Montana, however, who would think she was way over-gunned. He's killed a bunch of bison with the .25-06.

I'll throw my hat in the ring. Though I do like the single shot approach, which allows a 26" barrel, yet handy overall length. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/1andbuck_zps0f4efb8b.jpg) I had a Remington Mtn Rifle in .270, with 22" barrel. It was rather blasty

270 bounces balls off chitt, if it's owners balls aren't worth a chiit.

I've been a member of the Cult since '75. After shooting a M94 growing up, I purchased my first rifle: Ruger M77 in 270. It flat killed stuff. After going through a couple of #1's and a Sako Classic that I should have never traded, I abandoned the Cult for sexier calibers. Now, 40 years later and after many guns/calibers, I'm back and would show you what arrived yesterday if I only could post a picture...technology and old people..... FIGURED IT OUT.....

All things considered, all things put into a bowl, shaken, stirred, and poured out, I still think the 270 is the best all-around Western cartridge ever for the average citizen.
Back East, I can't see the need for it, though that doesn't mean it doesn't work there too. Agreed, I have owned over a dozen .270s, since 1968 and currently have two original P-64 Fwts. in highend synthetics plus a 1946 action, modded Micky Edge MKIX style stock and Talley QDs holding a Z3-3x9 Swaro, this has a Classic Fwt. sts tube and shoots. The .338WM/.270WN. combo is still as good as it gets here in BC and this is the last set of rifles I will part with for whatever hunting remains to me.

my '60 model 760 will eat the center out of a 100 yard target all day with 130 CL's. and it does it with a cheap 3-9 on see throughs. friggen thing is boring to shoot. and deer flat out drop and don't move when hit. it is that good. if i HAD to give up all my deer guns but one, it would be that one.
My diploma is a DD214
