270 win to a 300 win mag
Posted by gohip2000 on May 01 2006
I pretty much have my mind made up, but I currently own a Rem 700 ADL in 270 win caliber.  Imediately after buying the rifle, I wished I would have gotten a .30 cal, mainly because of a much larger range of bullet types and weights.  The type of shooting I do right now is at the range shooting holes in steel, but am going to get into hunting.  The first time I pulled the trigger on the 270, I felt the recoil was not bad in the slightest.  Now the recoil feels like nothing to me, partially do to my 45-70 marlin, and I would like to move up to a 300 win mag.  the 300 win mag would be a replacement for the 270 and be my rifle to use on everything in the US.  I've herd it is a great caliber, very versitile for everything in the lower 48 states, and would trade in my Rem to help pay for the 300.  I know the 30-06 is a great round, but I would like a little extra umf.  I am trying to decide on what rifle to look for in this caliber.  I want to stay in the $400-$600 range and have heard that Savage rifles have a good reputation for being affordable, well made, and accurate out of the box.  I would most likely purchase one of their packages with the scope.  Can anyone give me any advice on the caliber and rifles in the caliber.  Does anyone have a savage in this caliber and how do you like it?  Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to give an Idea of what I'm looking for. thank
