Since one of the subject rifles here is a 270 Win., I will throw my hat in the ring. Just yesterday I took a fella out to shoot some LR, he had never done it before. I was shooting my Jon Beanland built 6.5 Creedmoor, but I let the new guy shoot my sons 270. It is built on a Rem 721 by Mike Bryant, trued and with a Hart barrel in an HS stock. I kept it all sporter weight as a pack-able hunting rifle, and for glass it just has the old tried and true SWFA fixed 10x42. No fancy Bergers in it either, just a plain old 140 NBT running right at 3000 fps. But it reaches out a grand just fine, even though the wind really starts playing with that NBT the further you push it. Out to 700-900 it shoots really nice though, the ranges it is intended for deer.

I really need to go apologize to that fellas wife, I think I just cost them some money. He had a real good time stretching that thing out.

Here is what it looks like.
