I agree with ELK.....most of the shooting I run into is inside of 50 yards. Its basically cut timber/briar patch where I hunt..although there is the ol hayfield on top of mt in case ya wanna take a long shot. With this being said my 270 has performed absolutely perfectly with the 130's at ranges from 5 to 300 yards. HARD to go wrong with the 270 although there are plenty of others that will do as well.
