    @iambatman Have you seen the two secondhand 270's for sale on the forum? A remmy and Zastiva. As factory rifles both will benefit from a polish with fine grades of wet and dry, a trigger adjustment and bedding but you will end up with a very good first rifle with either one. If factory ammo is what you will be using there is nothing that a 308 can do better than a 270 except for shooting big cattle beasts. For deer, pigs, goats etc near and far the 270 is easier to hit with. Handloading is over-rated for the average hunter now that a really good range of factory ammo is available IMO.
