Hello blurb2m and welcome to the forum.

I have heard alot of good things about the 270 WSM. I had a chance to buy a Ruger M77 MRK II SS, for about $ 400.00 in Arkansas on my last trip. I just couldnt do it though.

I use a old standard 270 Win. 130 gr Horn. bullets.
I have never had a problem with it as of yet, and have had it since I was young.(A few years ago, not alot , just a few)

Let us know what you decide to buy.
