No kiddin mod 70?? Mabye thats why 120gr is the heavy for the quarter bore....
But the 280 kicks the 270 bad with heavier bullets.....
And, the 300 Win, as Fabs said, is even better yet. Actually, I dont know why I have parked my 300 Win. I got it when I graduated high school in 1985. It has killed a train load of deer. With a factory 150gr Core Lokt, I have never had a rifle perform any better, or as good, as that rig. And the recoil thing is not all that bad either. Its not much worse than any 270, 280 or 30-06 I have ever shot, some more, but not noticable when shooting at game.
You know what, Im not too sure thats not the perfect all around big game rifle period. Deer, pronghorn, elk, moose, bear, it will do it all. And talk about bullet selection.
Thanks Fabs. I may bring the ole 300 out of the safe this year, sight it in and use it. Its been a while and thats a shame to semi-retire such a performer. Flat shootin and hard hittin.
