Default My new Toy

Been using my trusty Ruger M77 Mk II all-weather .300 Win Mag for 15 years and it's put down lot's of game.

I decided to back off next year so bought a new toy. A Remington 700 SPS Buckmasters in .270 Win. What do ya think? Did I do okay?

I have the same rifle, Remington 700 SPS buckmaster, but in the .243 caliber and no problems at all with it. It shoots very well also.

Hard to argue with any 700.

I "almost" bought the .243. I liked the short action, but if you look at ammo prices .270 is cheaper then .243 for some reason.

Nice new toy. I like the short actions also. I've got 700's in .243 and 7mm-08. Usually find the .243 stuff for about the same price as .270 and .30-06. But, the 7mm-08's usually cost a little more.

Nice Buy! SHould make you happy. I probably woulda went with a short action too as others have mentioned, but certainly can't argue against the .270

That's a very nice rifle! Nothing wrong with .270 either. Out to 300 yards or so it should kill most deer just as dead as the 300 mag did.
