I have a Browning A-Bolt Classic Hunter in 270WSM. In my trips to the range I haven' t experienced any feeding problems. Its a nice gun, and a nice round. The recoil is not bad. I use a Past padm more out of habit I imagine. My buddy has the same rifle and doesn' t bother with a recoil pad.

Before you make your purchase check out the places you shop for ammo availability. That was the most frustrating part for me, chasing down ammo. I' ve stocked up for now, so that problem is solved.
