nothing................everything...............he ll if it bleeds try shooting something with it. I mean come on, youre a smart kid!!!! Its a deer rifle, some use it for Elk, Moose, Bear, whatever. Sorry for the smart a$$ reply but read all of the posts in here, the 270 is a versitile gun that has killed most anything in North America.

Not in the parts of alberta that I hunt in.The 7mmremmag,30-06 and 300win mag are all more popular with the people that I know or see at the local range.

A .270 is a mainly flat shooting powerful caliber. Many guys use it for deer and bear, but some use this gun for elk.
