waterweasle Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 most would look for pros and cons BEFORE they get a gun..................270 is a good caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybuckboy Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 My son has a M77 in .243... excellent rifle. When new, the action was a little catchy but after sitting watching TV and just opening and closing with a light spray of oil in it, the action smoothed out. If yours is used it may be fine.

NYDeere Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I like the .270 as well. Very flat shooting rifle without a big recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPIBuckHunter Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I bought a .270 Ruger American this summer. Here's my grouping at 100 yards (third time shooting the gun): Hit the paper all 4 times at 250 yards: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have a Ruger M-77 in 7mm-08, before that I had one in .243. It is an excellent rifle (accurate) . The action on both of mine were a little stiff too, but after working it for a while and applying a little oil, it smoothed right out. 270 is a great round. You should be happy.
