Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Recoil and the .270 Win...bullet weight suggestions?

N.W. Montana.... anytime, just don't tell MCH where I live... lol

I'll take you up on that sometime.

Why Hollywood in the profile?

I am afraid I would have to go to work to keep up with him..... no can do as I am unemployable these days due to a poor attitude.... ;(

To throw MCH off the trail.....

Pewh.. thought you may have been a Californian!

Stick has is all beat

I’m running 3 Zeiss V4 scopes. (1) 4-16x44 and (2) 6-24x50 I’ve seen nothing wrong with them as far as dialing and rtz... The glass quality is excellent. Great eye relief with full edge to edge clarity with very light distortion on the outer edges. Zero stop is simple to set and strong.

I would say they’re a favorite, but really can’t until I actually use them in a hunting environment. So far on punching paper and steel, I’m impressed. Fairly lightweight, too Price point on them is beyond reasonable.

The SWFA HD 5-20 is a massive piece of aluminum. The scope is heavy - I don’t mind that, and the glass quality is really good. I own a couple and love them...One that was on my 300 Wby, I dialed the hell out of it while breaking in and playing with my 300. It’s a great scope.

Txt me your shipping address and I will send you one of my SWFA 5-20 that’s in limbo right now...You can mount it up and test drive it.
Then you’ll either love everything about its tank like build quality or use it as a dumbbell.

I am roughing it out here in the wilderness... the witness protection program seems to be working though...

Beav , hey buddy thanks for the offer but I don't have an appropriate rifle at the moment.... a build is percolating in my mind.... again thanks to you bastards..

Funny a few people have jumped my ass for being a Californian.... I just tell them they are jealous because we Californians are rich.. hahahaha

I have lived in Mt. for the better part of 27 yrs

Not a bad pad seeings how you are roughing it!

Very nice

Thank you.... do you like to fish?

It’s a disease...Since wifey is outta town, I’ve been doing some self-talk tonight trying to come to terms with my gun porn issues. Repeating Mantra “You love the rigs you have”...”You are fortunate”...”You don’t need more”...Repeat.

But, then Lapua hangs his collection of killer sniper weaponry and I’m google-fu’n another chambering spec, barrel builder, length and stock type...I’m soooo fooked!

Thanks Lap. 🖕🏾😎

Here to help brother

Yes I do

I hear ya brother... this place is expensive to hang out..... I have a couple snipery type rifles, I keep getting seduced by pretty wood and traditional old junky rifles.

Those carbon wrap barrels Kingston keeps posting has me wearing out my google fu tryin to decide.

I like Lapua's shorty rifles, thinkin 17" carbon wrap with suppressor, McMillan Sako hunter stock, and thanks to that damn Hig a bighorn action, it is Savage like.....

Can'y quite convince myself to go with AI mags, thinkin BDL

The caliber is my big conundrum.... I like the 6.5 Creed, next day 280 AI. then 6.5prc then 7-08.... crap

Cool we can go to the big lake for Macks....

Or if you prefer we could float a river for trout

If I had to choose one it would be 280 ai.

6.5 prc is attractive

308 can do it all. 110s to 210s

6.5 creedmoor is very good

300 win mag outstanding

338 lapua is the cats ass for killing

I'd be game for that

BDL....Or, the H-S Precision drop in mag box that fits into the BDL opening....Kingston hates them - doesn’t allow enough room in the box for him to stuff his long, anorexia bullets into it.

Personally, I love the H-S Magazine dbm...😎
