I just bought a used Remington Model 700, in a 270. I plan to put a 3x9x40 nikon buckmaster scope on it that I have already. I'll prolly go with leopold mounts. Right now it has some kinda funky see thru mounts on it with a simmons scope. I would like any input from anyone that has owned one of these rifles. Also I am wondering what kind of factory loads to start with. As well as any comments as to how the 270 performs on whitetail deer.
