Question with the .270
I am looking to buy my first deer rifle because I have just gotten into deer hunting. My dad has introduced me, and now I am hooked. He shoots a .30-30 marlin lever action that I like, but I was thinking of getting something along the lines of a .270.
My question is how do you like shooting your .270 at the range? Don't misunderstand me, this is my deer rifle, but I know realistically that in one season I won't shoot more than a few shots at actual deer. 99% of the shooting I do will be at a range, and I am luck enough to have on less than ten minutes from my house.
The big factor will be accuracy, recoil, and cost of shooting. As I understand it the .270 is about as accurate as it gets, so recoil is the main concern for ease/fun of shotting for an afternoon at the range.
