I decided not to get a Rem. 7400. But I need a bolt rilfle for about $400. I would like a youth model in .270 if they make them. This gun will be just for my wife and daughter. They will be shooting mule deer, pronghorn and elk. I do not know much about rifles, so I figured that I would ask the experts. I don't think that I am interested in the Rem 710 due to what others have said about it. If anyone knows of a good youth model in .270 please let me know, and also why it is good. THANKS
I own a remington 710 in .270 and I think that it is one of the finest shooting rifles around (for the price). I still have the scope that it came with on the rifle. Last year I shot a 6pt at 254yds (I used a range finder) and dropped him right in his tracks. I think that you can't beat the accuracy or quality of this rifle for the amount of money that you are going to pay. I think that it even outshoots most higher priced rifles also. That's just this humble former Marines opioion.
