I am in the market for a 270 Win. Trying to keep it under $1,000. I’ve looked at Howa, Weatherby Vanguard and Sauer and they were ok. The Bergara B14 fit me the best but the reviews have been iffy. The Browning Xbolt was also nice but over my price point. I have not had a chance to look at the CVA Cascade or the Mauser M18
If push came to shove today, the Vanguard and Sauer would lead the pack. Anything else out there I should be looking at?
Get a 700 SPSS. I've been wrestling with accuracy with 6.5 Creedmoor (4 consecutive failures) and 6.5 PRC (3 consecutive failures) for about 5 years. By failure, I mean 1 to 1.25 MOA best accuracy. In old days that would have been great, I know. Late last summer I picked up a 700 SPSS in .243. The fire forming loads run about 3/4 MOA soundly besting all 7 6.5s and it's best load is well under half MOA.
No guarantees of course but .. well, lets just say I'm thinking about a .270 as a backup / spare / etc .. and it will be a 700 SPSS if I go forward.
