Six digit gun in about 95% condition came with vx3 4.5-14x40 in low leupold rings and one piece base. Any recommendations on what might be the best factory Ammo for it. I do not reload Gun is 26" barrel Previous owner had passed and his son never even found any ammo for it. Said he was sure his dad never shot more than a box or two through it
The .270 Weatherby is a hoss of a cartridge. If they would only screw a barrel with a 1:8 twist on it. Then you could shoot 170 Matrix out of it at about 3000 FPS, But as is, it will hurl 150s at about 3100 or so. I want one myself but am torn between the Weatherby and a WSM. Unlike some, I'm partial to .277 diameter. They, along with the 6.5-06 and .25-06 are the hammer on deer size animals.
