Friend Brad, those are two very nice animals. Your 270 did a great job bringing them home for some nice eating.
Wishing you all the best.
PS: I don't think a guy could go wrong with a 270 for a hunting rifle.
Take care.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My $400 xtr🤪 Can't go wrong on that one Brd! I never owned a 270 and at this point I doubt I will as I have a couple 7mm-08's and plenty of 30-06's so I'm not sure what a in between cartridge like a 270 would gain me, but it's a great round that has stood the test of time. There's a xtr 270 on the classifieds in a boyd's laminate stock for $550 shipped. Can't believe it hasn't sold yet.

The last one I bought was a 22-250. First year short action. After selling the scope, I think I have $475.00 into it, so you just about stole yours!!! Ha ha.

I have a new Rem700 mountain rifle 270 sitting in the safe.
I haven't even shot it cause it's obsolete and prolly won't even kill a deer.....lol
My 280 mountain rifle carries the mail....and then some.
Actually I carried my 7-08 all year, it's light and handles well and that's what matters plus I was proving to my other buddies that a 120 BT pill is extremely deadly.
Coyotes don't take a step either.

Not that anyone cares...
The one Sako I looked at was a "family heirloom" but appeared to be more of a "family canoe paddle" with GunBroker pricing. Not sure that beat is even close to the correct term.
Visited a LGS yesterday that had 2 new M70 Featherweights (one in 270), 3 Super Grades, and 2 Alaskans. Those are the first M70s I have seen in years and the most I have seen in one spot. They also had a couple of Tikkas and new M700s. I'll admit that the M70s, although wasn't fond of the maple stocks on the Super Grade (personal preference), were very nice and it was refreshing to fondle something other than a Ruger American or Savage Axis or some other plastic rifle. Not sure I'm remotely prepared to pay the price for a new M70.
It had been a while since I have been to that shop and was surprised at the number of used rifles for sale. Prices were high.
The search will continue.

If you want wood what about tikka hunter in 270. I've seen them at eurooptics . The old T3 were cheap when on close out. I should have gotten one.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

My son with the BDL in 270 I handed down to him with a large feral hog and his first elk. Still miss it but it was worth it ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dAs1Ra9.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/gBLqnhB.jpg)

I am in the market for a 270 Win. Trying to keep it under $1,000. I’ve looked at Howa, Weatherby Vanguard and Sauer and they were ok. The Bergara B14 fit me the best but the reviews have been iffy. The Browning Xbolt was also nice but over my price point. I have not had a chance to look at the CVA Cascade or the Mauser M18
If push came to shove today, the Vanguard and Sauer would lead the pack. Anything else out there I should be looking at? Get a 700 SPSS. I've been wrestling with accuracy with 6.5 Creedmoor (4 consecutive failures) and 6.5 PRC (3 consecutive failures) for about 5 years. By failure, I mean 1 to 1.25 MOA best accuracy. In old days that would have been great, I know. Late last summer I picked up a 700 SPSS in .243. The fire forming loads run about 3/4 MOA soundly besting all 7 6.5s and it's best load is well under half MOA. No guarantees of course but .. well, lets just say I'm thinking about a .270 as a backup / spare / etc .. and it will be a 700 SPSS if I go forward. Tom
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Here be dragons ...
