[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2808014, member: 118816"] The 270 is an oldie but a goodie like the venerable 30-06. It is somewhat mild recoiling rifle that shoots flat, fast and hit's hard. Ballistic wise at hunting distances it puts the 6.5 CM to shame. While some Po-Po the older cartridges for the newer stuff that simply does the best it can to duplicate the the performance of these two war horses. The US Military is in the process of adopting the 6.8mm which is a .277 bullet diameter so it can now be considered a new war horse. I have a Tikka T3x lite stainless. It has a twist rate of 1/8 and from the first shots out of the barrel has shot sub moa with quality 130 / 140 gr ammo such as Sig Sauer Elite and Federal Premium. The action is as smooth as they get and a lot better than what you find in more expensive rifles. They are priced around $1000, and worth every penny. [/QUOTE]
