Another vote for the marlin xl7! I recently ordered 1 for a buddy as a present and was so impressed with it for that price range,I wound up ordering another for use as a "loaner" rifle to keep in case somebody needs to borrow a decent shooting rifle to hunt with (or give to my boy when he finally straightens up). From the 2 I've actually shot (admittedly a small number for testing),these rifles perform wayyy out of their price range-both in .270. They also feature marlin's own form of the savage's "accutrigger",and weaver type scope bases are furnished. For a 275$ rifle,ya can't beat them! like I said,I'm rifle poor and own all kinds of bolt actions and was pleasently suprized as hell with them.

You might want to look at a Marlin XL-7. They come in a .270 and have a accu-trigger type trigger on them. Plus they only run around $300 brand new. I have one in a .270 that will easily put 3 in an inch at 100yds. IMO there alot of gun for the money.
