Thanks guys for your vote of confidence.......

 

i have a remington 700 in 270 and just bought a tikka ts ss in 270 ,i can tell you now the tikka is the way to go. i think at 580.00 its the best buy out there . it is stainless with a synthetic stock . my remington was gettin beat up from haulin it around on my atv. the tikka have a fully adjustable trigger thats better then any factory rifle i've ever owned. it weighs a full pound less than my remington.

and you sure don't need a 6x24 scope for deer ,thats way to much power at close range . a running deer at close range would be hard to follow at 6 power. get a 3x9 or 4x12 . i've killed deer out to 400 yds with my 270 with 3x9 scopes. my deer rifles see hard use and i sure wouldnt want to carry a 1800.00 thru some of the mess i hunt in . there are plenty of scopes for under 200.00 that will do the job.

as for other brands of rifles , i own a bunch of savages that are all very accurate. i'm not a big winchester or ruger fan .

Winchester model 70 classic,very accurate,and used for sniper work in Viet Nam.Voted by Shooting Times as best bolt action in the first hundred years

I am a huge fan of the BAR's. I have a Browning BAR Safari Mark II in the .300 Win Mag with the BOSS and love it. Got me my moose and caribou. FOr deer I just got a BAR .270 WSM in the shorttrak and LOVE it. Droped my 8 pointer in one shot running 150 yards away. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Nothing wrong with other brands, but I have been shooting Brownings since I was 12 (now 30) and they have NEVER let me down, so until they do, I will stick with them.
