I bought my grandsons a Remington 700 camo/synthetic in .270 Sunday night. I got a Limbsaver recoil pad for it today and will probably take the Bushnell 4200 off of their .243 and put it on in place of the Remington scope. The 700's have been around a L - O - N - G time and are very dependable.

I am interested in your recommendations. I did not know Kimber has accuracy problems. I thought they were supposed to be a well made, extremely accurate gun. What is the nature of the accuracy problems? I have a little extra coin.

I have some recommendations, but you need to be more specific on a dollar amount that you are willing to spend. I would personally stay away from Cooper for political reasons and Kimber for accuracy problems, but there are some really good gun companies out there if you are willing to drop a little extra coin.

I have some money saved up and I am willing to invest some money in order to get a quality gun.
Any recommendations?

I have only owned one Kimber, and it was "adequate" (1.5"-2" at 100 yards using factory ammo) accuracy-wise but not a tack driver. I have a friend that has owned several in various calibers, and in his words, "it is a crap shoot as to whether a Kimber will shoot or not". He had a couple that were SUPER accurate, but most were only barely acceptable. Our accuracy experiences may only be isolated instances, but between the two of us, we have owned a dozen Kimbers.

I will make no bones about it. I like "high end" rifles and am currently shooting a couple of Blaser R-93 Professionals, but they are no where close to the price range that has been given. Last year, I hunted with and regrettably sold a Sauer 202 lightweight in 270. If you could find a good clean used one, it would be a really nice rifle and MIGHT be close to the price range. I have put links to a couple of Sakos, and I have a Sako 75 Finnlite in 6.5x55 and absolutely love it. I highly recommend the Sako 75 Finnlite. It has a better stock than the newer 85 model, but the action on the 85 is a little smoother.
