Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Which 270 Rifle would you buy today?

One that had .280 stamped on the barrel.

I,m lucky I have 3 different one, A Vanguard S2, A 1952 Model 270, plan Jane, and A Sako A7, new. All are just a as accurate below a inch at a hundred yard,

is all I require. The Vanguard is a Stainless model, very reliable, a little heavy, with a great trigger, hold 6 shells. The model 70 is the cheapest model made it was a hand me down.

Still very accurate, a little heavy like the Vanguard. I like the controls on it better than the other 2 especially the safety. The Sako A7 is the Lightest of the three, and always produces

more speed from a given load than the other 2 usually 30 to 40 FPS. I line the 3 lug bolt, and the action is very smooth, the Vanguard is second smoothest. Not crazy about the Magazine

Hard to remove, of course they will not fall out. Hard to decide which I like most. Just about equal. I would also look at the all stainless Model 70.

One more thing, not that it matters but the bore and rifling on the Sako is far superior to the other 2 , the Model 70 is very good, but i do not know how many rounds went thru it.

The Vanguard has a very rough bore. I guess they are in a hurry when it come to Cutting the rifling.

No... But an old bullet maker from Lewiston played a key role in the build of the rifle. .

I almost passed out when I saw all them 130 BBCs and wondered about the rifles make. Very cool WB. That’s a killing stash of BBCs!

Maybe some 150's will help stabilize you.... .

That ain’t right. I have a decent stash of the 130’s and 150’s as well. Probably about 1/2 what you have pictured and man, they are still my favorite. I find my happy place when I can make a BBC hit to the same spot at 300 yards as a similar weight PT or AB.

I’ve yet to see anything knock elk flat like the 175’s out of my Mashburn. It made me a believer. I still remember driving down the mountain to tell Bob about it.

Man.... I’m still a little green with envy about that pile.

I bet those 175's kill like lightning.
I miss Bob and Bill....

Nice rig. I would like to try one of those Conquest 2.5x8x32s out.

3 choices, in order 1) Kimber Mountain Ascent, 2) Rem 700 CDL - SF, 3) Win 70 "extreme weather" stainless.

Ended up with a model 70 today...here's a couple of quick pics.
