Default Winchester Super X rifle

Any feedback on these? Thinking about a 300 WSM. I may do the Browning auto instead. What do you think? Thanks

I bought one in a 270 WSM. Is this caliber any good? What does it compare to. I know the 300 WSM compares favorably with the 300 Win Mag but haven't done any research on the 270 WSM. I bought it for a quick solution to N MN whitetails as I sold my Browning 308 BLR. Thanks

Never saw one before. I thought the Super-X was a shotgun, but, did a little googling, and found this:

That's the gun. Did a search on 270 WSM and am happy with the cartridge. I am figuring the 140 grain bullet is the best for whitetail out to 200 yards?

270 WSM is a buster and will work fine (if you do your part) at ranges farther than 200 yards. As for the rifle, I think it's ugly and crappy looking. Wouldn't want one. Browning is much better IMO. Good luck.

200 yards is enough in N Minnesota in most cases. I havequite a fewguns that look good including several Parkers and Brownings, one of which is a Midas.

I bought this gun to kill deer with and am concerned only with its accuracy, weight, and reliability. I would be more pleased if it had a black plastic stock as I was originally looking for a Short Trac Stalker but can't find one. Next year I intend to have a 300 WSM, 308 and a 308 lefty in Short Trac Stalkers as my son will be 14 and is a lefty.

I could care less about what the gun looks like when hunting except for our annual 410 wild pheasant hunt. I use a Classic Doubles 410 for that one.

Sorry to hear you are hung up on what you perceive good looks are in a gun.

From what I understand the winchester is exactly the same rifle as the browning short trac bar. The brownings are great rifles but the winchester should cost less.

I'm not hung up at all. You asked for feedback so I gave some. Why get your panties in a wad? Select what you like / want and to he?@& with everybody else. Good luck this fall.

Hope you are right. If this is essentially the same gun it is a steal. Cost was over $250 less than the only Browning I could find. Iheard the Winchester had a good action in it but didn't know if it was Benelli's or Browning's. I assumethe barrel is Browning?

I intend to pick it up next week. Probably mount a smaller Leupold I have laying around. I know this cartridge will shoot a long ways but almost every shot we take is under 100 yards.

What is the best range to zero the 270 WSM?
