Well balanced rifle with a good stock makes it very comfortable to shoot, even prone. This fall’s elk made it a whole three yards after a behind the shoulder shot.

Well done, sir, well done.

Absolutely. The epitome of excellence with no equal before or since.
You forgot 300 Savage and a few others.They have been arguing the merits of the 270 compared to 30-06 since 1925.
The fact is a well constructed 150 grain bullet fired from a 270, 280, or 30-06 will give you the same result at ethical ranges.
So why are we are discussing this???
Oh that's right we all need to use 375 magnums and get it done
I keep it in the long action familyYou forgot 300 Savage and a few others.
Understood and noted.I keep it in the long action family
All of the above.....The way it went thru my head...cause im 5....was "dont give me something I want....then make it doodoo"By Remington it, do you mean introduce it as the next best whiz bang, immediately forget that you introduced it, not support it with ammo production, and discontinue rifles almost as soon as they start, or do you mean put out pisspoor quality guns that shoot when the safety is clicked off and that look like they lost a fight with the Krylon can? Maybe both?

Should be a hammer.
~ 25 lbs of recoil on an 8.5 lb rifle, though.
If the stock fits right though that isn't unreasonable for a hunting rifle. Nottingham acceptable for any volume shooting but fine for hunting.

Oh please do!....i get yelled at for hating that little thing......Don't get me started on 300BO.
300 blackout is a 30 carbine for the ar15 platform. And, ironically, that's why I like it. It is funny looking though.Hey, I never expressed any dislike for the 30-06. Grand old warhorse, that. Doesn't have the panache of a 6.5x55, but hits a good bit harder. Different tool in the toolbox from a 270. 308, though...squat toad of a round. Almost as good as a 30-06? Close only counts in horse shoes & hand grenades.

Keh, not just me thenThere's no logical reason for it to exist. Either down-load a 308 bolt gun or shoot a 45acp sub gun, which is really the job it's meant to do.
"I can shoot it at long range"
Uh, okay. Enjoy hitting your target with the muzzle energy of a 115gr 9mm (and that's at 200 yards where the drop is measured in feet not inches).
Would you trust that to take down a pissed off feral hog or a methed up Jihadi? No, I wouldn't either. I'll take the hydrostatic shock of a 556 round or better yet, a 6.5 Grendel.
If I need something up close & suppressed I'll take a nice 45acp. Bigger hole, same energy, just as quiet & a lot cheaper.
Well..cause.....I could actually come up with semi-reasonable arguments for all of those, but I enjoy these sorts of discussions so try to have both sides covered......All this talks about calibers I find entertaining and hilarious. It's like the buyers that buy a .357 magnum but want to load to 38 special loads. Why not just buy a .38, or they buy a 44 magnum but want a lighter load, or your hunting and need a side arm for bears, why not just use the rifle you are hunting with.
All you need is a good muzzle brake!!!Told myself that for a year.
And then I sold the .30-06 for a .270 WIN... and my shooting improved.
...then I put a recoil pad on it.
In hindsight, the recoil pad may have saved the .30-06 as a bolt rifle hunting round for me.
But it sure makes the .270 WIN a sweet all-day shooter.

No such thing as plenty if the number is a single digit.My Steyr Prohunter got a soft pad swapped in. It bumps but aint bad at all...150gr.
My .280 Ruger #1 hits me harder.
See how it goes late anterless season.
It might go bye bye after, and ill just stick w my boring .30-06, 35 rem and .243
Think 3 deer rifles is plenty.
I've learned with class 4 loads from my Siamese that a recoil pad can be to soft, other then feeling the butt stock under the pad with very heavy recoil the gun can twist of walk in weird ways it won't normally do.Keh, not just me then

then better ear protection and new friends......
Ive never been a huge fan of fast sharp recoil, thus I like heavier guns and squishy pads.
JUST a squishy pad is enough that as @troy fairweather has joked, everyone wants a turn with the .375. It shoves you around but doesn't hurt....unless you go all bobble head and catch face full of leupold...but ONE guy did that, nobody else.
Where'd you find the pic of me from back in 1981?
Gonna have to let us know if you decide to sell that #1 hookeye...My Steyr Prohunter got a soft pad swapped in. It bumps but aint bad at all...150gr.

I agree I don't care much for the blkout,Oh please do!....i get yelled at for hating that little thing......
This one time in deer camp, cousin invited a guy who brought a ... .243.
Sooo, 264 Win mag?How bout you live life on the edge and blow out the .270 WCF case, give it a sharper shoulder, lengthen the case by 0.460 inches, and neck it down to .264 cal.
Basically yes, except the case is .5 inches longer.Sooo, 264 Win mag?
