RE: I need a 270
I gotta agree with Virginia7. the regular 270 win (i had one) is descent enough. In fact, if you snag one in the weatherby vanguard, you can get a 24 inch barrell and tack on a few extra FPS. Whats better, you can use the hornady light mag ammo and start closing the gap between the 270WSM and the vanilla 270. The plain 270 ammo is $11.87 for a box "O" 20 at wally world. WSM? 18 bucks a box at a gun store. EJ

Man I wouldnt ever not reccomend the .270 win with the luck I have had with it. Killed deer with it from 5 yards to over 300. Far as guns go...lol..I am not that familiar with all the choices that are out there..I usually stick to a 700 of some sort due to the accuracy they always give me.

RE: I need a 270
You wont be sorry. That is an awesome gun. I have the model 70 classic stainless in 30-06. My next gun will either be a fwt .243 or .270.
With a nice gun like that i would look into shooting 140gr Failsafes sold in the Winchester Supreme line.
or if you handload go with a NP.
