How can I convince my parents they need to buy me a Remington 700 ADL from Academy Sports for my graduation present from Lackland?

I figure no 10 day waiting period, I would have had a few months pay in the bank, plus who doesn't want another rifle... I need a present from Winnie to Shayne.

Now.. the hate. I dunno if this is gay but I would want one in .270 Winchester

Or a 25-06... Less gay?

Put a Vortex on top so I keep some money saved for hunting. What says the Fire?

The .270 ADL would be a superb choice.

Despite the banter around here the .270WCF is an absolutely fantastic hunting cartridge.

Even the haters know this to be true but haters gotta hate!

You had me pulling for you, until you mentioned the whole .270 thing. I'm sorry, but that's kind of a deal-breaker for me, and I'm here in San Antonio.

I could have garnered some support for you on the quarter bore, but..............

I hope everything works out for you.

Lost me at Remington.

Lose this 270 urge before you start asking about DADT.

30-06.

Own one.

Might go with the quarter bore.. or the .277 bore.

Put the USAF wings on the stock.

If'n you have an -06, then the 270 is redundant.

Go with the 1/4.

I was thinking that.

Quarter bore here I come.

The 270 is the best dang deer hunting catridge they ever wus.

Good luck with it winnie. Name change after having a 270 will be weinie1300......

270.

25-06 is a no brainer in this case.......

Well, just so the haters can keep hating, dump the 270 thing, and dump the Remington thing, and buy yourself a 6.5 Swede in a Tikka T3 stainless synthetic.

Buy the .270 Win,then winnie1300 can change his name to, WINNER1300!

Go with the 25-06, you already have a 270AI..... the 30-06!

Get the 270, a sex change and a new boyfriend....

After I bought my first .270, I just about quit hunting with my '06. I am not a fan of the .25-06, but most of my cowboys down on the ranch used them, primarily because they were all one-rifle guys and they shot a hell of a lot more coyotes than deer.

Fixed for ya,smarty pants.

With a .30-06 I'd start looking at short action chambers like .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem or .243 Win. That will give you a more rounded two gun battery than a .25-06/.270 and .30-06. FWIW I have the .25-06, .270, and .30-06 and if I had to sell the .270 would be one of the last one to go and the .25-06 the first.

+1, a 30-06 & a 223 will do a lot.

I think you mean winner1300

This rifle would most likely be used more for coyotes and smaller critters I do not need to draw an expensive non-resident tag for.

So... 25-06 or a .243?

243

If I am lucky enough to draw a tag I would bring my Ruger along for a deer or elk... This is turning more into coyote rifle than anything.

Prayers sent.

I thought it was heading more towards gay porn myself...I'll send some prayers too buddy....

Well now I am thinking a .243 with 80 grain SP's will be hell on coyotes on public land near the AFB's...

Winchester M 70 Ultimate Shadow .243 Win with a Weaver 4x and spray painted.

What loads are you running though the Winnie, sir?

Don't let the Grand Poobah fool you. He loves to get in the closet and fondle his 270 while adorned only in the leopard print undy's. powdr

Var-get 44.0 grains
WLR primer
60 grain Berger Varmint C.O.A.L. 2.710"
3575 average from a 22" barrel.
Winnie,I have not killed any coyote with this load(yet,)but have killed 3 with it useing a 70 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip,it do tear them up.

Don't let any of 'em bs you. They'd have to be mentally lacking not to admit the .270 in a damn fine cartridge. I have 3 .308 cals(.300 WM, 30/06 and .308 Win), but my .270 in my go to rifle.

Besides, as far as coyotes go, a .270 will chuck a 90gr pill at 3600 fps(according to Hodgdon)...

Yeah, but my old .270 never shot anything less than a 130 well.
