Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 264 Win Mag vs. 270 Win.

.How are you enjoying your rifle? Looks pretty awesome.

I am super happy with it. After about 100 rounds, the action cycles smooth as glass. I've got M70 Super Grade with some very nice wood, but this EW is my favorite of the two, and that is saying a lot because a Super Grade is a dang nice rifle.

I prefer to buy American, but these Portugal M70's are very well done. I can't really fault the gun in anyway. I like it so much I am having a hard time resisting buying another. It is such a great gun, and the .264WM is such a great round, it is hard to argue I need another rifle, let alone another M70 Extreme Weather. However, if it ever comes in 28 or 30 Nolser, I'll be at the front of the line.

"First of all.....ignore the "gay" stuff....most of those comments are from guys using calibers that don't kill a whit better than a 270.Many of them know better,but won't admit it,because the 270 annually kills a lot more game than most of the things they carry.270 users laff at that stuff.... "

I've been on the Campire a long time and have seen many fads come and go. Maybe it's from the younger guys, I don't know but:

The .270 is gay.
The hottest caliber going was the 6mm-.284. Now it's all about the 6.5 Creedmore.
Everything was "Uber".
The M700 Remington was known as a "SUCKS" action.
And on and on... None of them last long.
