270 Win anniversary celebration

[peaceful_ruler]

This year the old faithful .270 Win has turned 100. I personally feel that this cartridge is the ultimate deer killer…whether you live in the east or west. I just finished my Tikka T3X build in .270 Win and it is a beauty! AG Composites Privateer, Swarovski Z3 3-10x42 BRH in Talley extra lows, MT Tactical bottom metal, and an ARCA/Pic rail from SRS. I also updated the trigger spring to lower the pull weight a bit. Total weight is just under 7.5 pounds so probably nearing 8# fully loaded. The only additions I’m thinking about are a sunshade and level. Three shots off the bipod gave me .66 MOA with Federal Fusion 130s this afternoon. Show us your .270 rifle…

This was my Dad’s 270 Win. I took this buck with it two years after he passed. He always considered it his “long range” rifle because he felt confident with it out to 300 yards. I miss the old man.

Bought new in 2002. M70 featherweight.
Few years ago I refinshed the stock and had it cerakoted.

I have one at the gunsmith right now, should be done April-May. It was originally planned to be a 280 Ackley but it just seemed right to build it into a 270 given the year.

I have a 270win barrel for my tikka hunting rifle. It wears a 6.5cm barrel most of the time for practice and hunting, but in theory it’s also a .270.

Nice stick of wood. Well done. That sludge finish they use hides so many nice stocks. I've refinished a couple dozen and they always look so nice with a simple clear finish.

Took this buck with dad’s 270 win 3 days before he passed in 2022. Rifle is a ruger m77 mk2, it shoots 130 gamekings the best. I knew dad wasn’t going to make the week so I decided to take his rifle out on this hunt after a buck I had been after all season. Everything came together that day and this rutted up buck soaked up 2 gamekings while sniffing out a doe. I couldn’t think of a better way to send dad off.

I just looked through all the pics on my phone and I don't have one of my .270 that I've had since I was 15, 35 years. Since 2019 I've killed 1 deer and 2 black bear with it, but have used several different rifles since. To celebrate the 100 year anniversary, I think I'll get it threaded for my suppressor.

My son also shoots a .270.

Not a great pic but the only one I got right now! My Weatherby Vanguard .270. Love this rifle and love the 270! She's only got 2 whitetail under her belt so far, but shoots sub MOA with Hornady 130gr SST factory loads! I'd like to redo the stock and add change to the box mag for it.

I had an M70 featherweight in 270 that I downed an antelope at 330yrds before this one that I regret selling! Some people here look down on the 270 but it just gets the job done!

OutKast arms put this one together from a colt light rifle. 270win just works….
