well depends where you are hunting for the scope, kansas i say thats pretty long range. But i got a bushnell 3-9 x 40 not the most powerful but i can hit cans at 300 yards with my .270, does that say anything about it? i dont think most guys shoot over that anyway. But its a Bushnell Dusk & Dawn. I shoot 150 grain remington core-lokts. Might want 130 gr for less drop for long range shooting, hope u enjoy that .270!
