So I managed to find a model 70 featherweight 270 Winchester which have been looking for. What scope would you put on this to keep it svelte????? Talley l/w rings of course.

Gloss M8 4X loopy seems appropriate.....
Might as well use low conetrols too!
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

Surely you didn’t go buy a .270?

My 270 mountain rifle has a Leupold vx-6 2-12 with a Boone and Crockett reticle. It's more than enough for anything we've tried. From woods hunting to open field kills to 450 yds, I never found myself wishing for anything more.

I have had several on mine.. It is not a feather wt. I use it for game and coyotes. a Leupold 4-12 seems perfect!

I’ve had an M8 4x, Schmidt and Bender 6x and now have a Kaps 1.5x6 coming for my P64 FWT 270 Win.
I’d say it just depends what you want to do with it honestly. The straight 6 was too much of a good thing for me in the Northeast but perfect in the more open ground of the west.

Thanks It’s a newer BACO rifle, I just swapped out the black pad for a red Winchester pad…also Williams bottom metal and the plastic grip cap was replaced with steel one. Fantastic rifle and my last one.
