Going on a sheep hunt is a big deal. You should buy at LEAST 1 new rifle leading up to the hunt to commemorate the occasion. Those Franchis seem like a great value with alot of features for the price point. Good luck and let us know how you do!
 
I’m confused now. I thought you’d come around. Then why buy a new gun in 65prc? Your 270 does old school perfectly.
Better 4x16 scope. I have shot my brother's 6.5 and 300prc with all the trick nob stuff on it, in that 10 second moment it's confusing to me. Heck, I can hardly work my TV remote. Kiss principal.
 
Heck, drawing a res.tag, I am now 11k into this. That buys alot of mutton@ the store.
 
What? My 6.5 PRC will shoot about 3100 FPS with a copper bullet out of an 22 inch barrel.

Op, if you’re only gonna bang flop, 200 yd zero is fine. If you want to do it properly, and you bought a new gun for this, right?, Zero dead on at 100 and learn to use your dials.
You’ve been on his hind end this entire thread over his scope choice, and now you’re telling him to turn dials on a weaver?!?
 
we all assumed the weaver thing was a joke. OP still has not confirmed either way, but more than one person has asked what scope the 6.5 is going to wear.

I’ve owned a 270. My dad and brother still own 5 between them. We’ve loaded a bunch of bullets through them. We’ve never got that kind of velocity out of any copper bullet and a 22 inch barrel. YMMV. But, that’s been my experience.

Summery of this thread.
Sheep guy-Asks complex ballistic question using .270.
RS guys- recommends getting chrono and ballistic solver app.
RS guys- Your scope sounds like the weak link in your rifle setup.
Sheep guy- I don’t think so. Never mind I’ll just hold high or low instead of dial. I don’t need these new stuff.
RS guys- guys ok
Sheep guy- I bought a new rifle in thenew fancy 6.5prc.
RS guys- very nice. What scope are you putting on it. ( Thinking quality like NF)
Sheep guy- A mid level (trash) vortex, cause I from WI.
RS- WTF!

Please don’t use that scope on a sheep hunt. I owned 2, both shit the bed. One on an elk hunt, which caused a dramatic (1’ right at 100) shift in point of impact and a gut shot elk.
