270 winchester

[Jonrad]

Ok guys went camping and hunting for the first time and I'm hooked. I have been looking for gear and getting prepared. I used a 270 Remmington but didn't shoot a deer. I was wondering if that is sufficient for a deer hunt boar hunt?

Absolutely great all around hunting round. From coyotes to moose a .270win can do it all within reasonable distances

An swfa 3-9x42. It is a durable,reliable and affordable scope.

270. Yes.
300 yards. Yes.
Leupold or SWFA. Yes.

Now don’t read anymore threads or you’ll doubt it all.

Rock on....

shot a 270 with a fixed 4 power scope for over 25 years. I don't recommend the 4x scope part! Any decent scope will do, 3x9, whatever. Just get one and practice. Accuracy and bullet placement is really all that matters. Truckloads of antelope, deer, a few elk, etc, with the 270. Everything hit right died right there. I used non-premium Remington 130 grain core lokt bullets for everything and wouldn't have changed weights if I'd drawn a moose. Zero (0) bullet failures.

I sometimes walked rifle aisles and was drawn close to UltraLaserDeathRayBlasterMagnumExpress rifles but quickly went back to the 270, apologized for being tempted and we settled down again.

I’ve had incredible luck with every Leupold scope I’ve ever used. They are all I buy now. Great glass quality for the money, incredible durability and a company I know will stand behind their product. I don’t know what else you could want.

Our Family has shot 270 Win's for years, lots of years actually.. Buy a tikka and get you a good quality scope with good eye relief, site it in and go hunting.. We have winchesters, Remingtons, Tikkas.. My got to deer, elk load is a 140 Accubond. It lays the smack down on deer and elk. I love the leupold scopes as well and mine is topped with Meopta Meopro 3.5-10x44. good luck on your new found hobby!!

A .270 with 3-9x is a pretty standard do-all rig.

I wish my Tikka was a 270 and my M70 a 30-06, but I’ll suffer.....

Yes! My favorite caliber for big game. I have a Tikka T3 with a Leupold VX-3i and Remington 700 with a VX-3 and i have killed a whole lot of deer and hogs with these rifles. Never undergunned.

Winchester M70 270 topped with Zeiss optic and 140 accubond pills. Simple and effective

Bergara Woodsman in 270 WIn w- Leupold X3I 2.5-8x36 for my setup, my favorite rig.

.270 is a great round. Texas deer are pretty small. We hunt the panhandle and so texas. Biggest bodied deer in the state and some guys use .260 or .308 all tne way to ultra mags. .270 is plenty.
Get a good 3-9 power scope from mid range leupold or zeiss conquest.
As for travelling, get a good Pelican air travel gun case and your set. Will need 3 locks at least to be safe. Its pretty easy, look up your airline of choices requirements.
