Looking for a nice .270
this year will be my first year hunting deer with a rifle...I have been using a shotgun for the past 10 years.
I was looking at getting a .270. i guess I am just wondering what are some good makes to look at, and what scope would be my best bet. I would like something with a nice wood finish, not synthetic.

RE: Looking for a nice .270
personally,
I'd take a look at the rem 700 mountain rifle or the tikka t3
If you were looking maybe at 270wsm, then I might also look at the rem model seven...sweet little rifle there. Hard to beat the tikka overall though, imo.

The Remington 700 action is what the military sniper schools use in their sniper rifles. .308 and more and more .300 Win Mags.
So you can't go wrong with the Rem 700's.
Buy I might suggest the .270WSM while you're at it. Just enough extra bang for any larger critters you may some day hunt.

I see you're in Fargo, last time I was in to Scheels in Grand Forks there was a very nice used Remington 700 .270 with a Leupold VX-III 3x10 on it. It was synthetic with stainless though. Can't remember the price, but it looked in very nice condition for being used.

RE: Looking for a nice .270
so a .270wsm would be enough to take out an elk at a decent range then? i Read that a .270 gun is a good all around gun for non dangerous game. I don't know if they are talking elephants or Grizzlies. Thanks for all the input, and thanks deadstick for the heads up on scheels in GF, but I really am looking for a nice wood finish.
I don't hunt elk regularly, would like to get out and try it some time though
