I would find a used Steyr Mannlicher Model M Professional and be content. I have owned several and everyone of them shot under a 1/2” with at least one factory load

270 and win md 70 are synonymous I don’t care if you shoot 4 inch groups with it, it’s still the best 270 you can buy. Jack o told me himself many moons ago

I buy any 270 that strikes my fancy.

With a couple each 7x57 and 7mm Weatherby rifles, a .270 is of little utility to me. So my short answer is None.

That's about where I am. 7mm's in several chamberings then .30 then .338 so there is nothing to offer in that caliber. They just don't make animals that cut off with one cartridge and then apply to the next caliber downwards.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Probably a Dakota m10. A .270 is a mild enough recoiling chambering to go well in a lighter wight rifle. As I’ve gotten older, I’m finding that I don’t like a lot of recoil or need a bunch of cartridges in a magazine to get the job done. A longer barrel on that m10 while still being a usable size would wring everything there is out of a .270 cartridge.
My other auto is a .45

I had a Savage 116 Weather Warrior with Accu stock and trigger that my wife and her brother bought for me when my .30-06 was in the shop for an extended stay. It was unbelievably accurate and shot almost every bullet into sub MOA groups. I had willed it to my brother in law because he liked it. I acquired a .30-06 Weatherby Vanguard 2 SS that shot about as well so I went ahead and gave the .270 to my brother in law. The other night we found 6 hogs rooting the pasture and he got 4 with 5 shots at over 200 yards. 3 were on the move after he shot the first one. He ran out of ammo and I shot a 5th one, so 1 survivor got away. Not too shabby for bolt rifles in the dark. If I were buying a .270W it would be a SS with synthetic stock Savage or Vanguard 2. I like wood and blue but I keep a rifle with me at all times for hog, dog, and coyote control and Stainless/Synthetic is a better choice for careless gun owners.

I have a Sako L-61 270 I like. Maybe one of those if you like older rifles.

10 years ago? A M70 Fwt.
Today? 84L Montana. No brainer. Late to the party but this ^^^^^ In fact, put a WTB ad in the classifieds for a buddy of mine doing exactly that - Kimber MT in 270. I had one several years ago and really liked it. When it was stolen, I replaced it with a 280 AI mainly because I have a soft spot of the 0.284 caliber and the 280 cartridge in particular.

New to me JOC tribute M70 270. If I couldn’t get a pre 64 270, this would be it.

M70 Fwt. would do it for me.

I grew up shooting .270s then drifted away but thinking about getting back into one. For a factory setup today, I would look first at a Sako 85.

Christensen Arms Ridgeline. Chambered in 270 WCF. I will mount a Leupold VH6. Mine shot like I expected. The one rifle in my safe that I would call, "money in the bank".
