Matt,

In the right rifle thats a 1000 yard round. My old LT had a Remington 700 BDL set up for sniper that he could shoot that far out and score kill shots.

 

I can shoot up to 250 yards in my back yard. I go to a buddy of mine for the long shots. Well over a 1000 yards at his place.. Nothing but a big big cornfield.

Never was a big fan of the 308. I like the 300 mags for the long shoots

 

And call before you arrive here, if I can't get someone then the dog will go after them!

I'm decent with a rifle and a shotgun, I need more time shooting handgun though.

Now the .50 cal browning in the machine gun nest in the front yard I'm an ace with, just point, shoot, and take down the target along with anything near it!

 

Shooting from the far end of Dads pasture to the hill at Worms its right at 800 yards.



I dont have anywhere to hunt that I cant shoot my .270 at... I always carry it and my .30-30 for an open site backup. If ever I have the opportunity I want to hunt out west. I like the 7mag. That may be my next rifle.

Dad shoots a .264WinMag. Nice rifle, great ballistics, little hard to get ammo. He just likes to be different.

 

I've been told if they are setup right and with good ammo the 700 will shoot 1000 yard.


The neighbor would hate me if I shot int he back yard, only have an acre here at the house! I could shoot at a friends farm, he has nothing but his fields and others fields around him. Seems like everythime I'm out there it's never good weather to shoot or we're busy with something else.

 

All of this gun talk reminds me. I need to drop by the sister site see whats going on over there. Havent been in a while. Maybe even get Mark to switch my username to match.

 

Hey guys and gals,

sorry for not following this thread, but you´re just too fast for me

I started a new thread about a topic that should concern everyone:

Thx for making a change possible!!!

If I could go back I would have gotten the 300 win mag. over the 7mm. The 7mm is pretty much the same as a .280

The 64 is a stud of a deer rifle..

Most of your 270 and higher calibers will reach out to a 1000 yards in the right hands.

 

Is Mark over there?

 

You hunt just deer with the .300? Always thought it would be a lil much, but maybe im wrong. Ive never done much deer hunting. Never had the place to do it. Always hunted ducks, geese, doves, woodcock etc. Ive only taken three deer...

The .270 I have is great. Its a Model 70 Carbine, my favorite model of rifle. It was my Ex-BIL's. He gave it to me to use indefinitly and when the divorce came about I gave it to my lil sis to return to him. She informed me that it was now her rifle and she then gave it to me... I didnt argue.

 

Yeah Im pretty sure he is...

 

This gun talk makes me wanna take the mauser out and shoot off a few rounds at the range this weekend!

I've met a few people at the range that were fan of the .270. I've noticed around here most of the rifle sold at the stores are the popular easy to get ammo for guns. The most common i see are the .308, 30-06, 300 mag, 7mm, and .223. I see a few guns once in a while chambered in .243, .270, .338, and .375 but not too often though.

 

You guys can hunt deer with rifles. In Indiana we can only hunt deer with shotguns or rifles that are chambered in pistol rounds like a .357 .38 or .44. They haven't allowed us to hunt with a rifle cartridge here yet.

 

Lord knows I've killed my fair share of deer but mainly with a bow, shotgun and muzzle loader (40+) Only 5 good bucks. The 270 is one of the flattest shooting guns out there. Great gun!!! I dont believe in having "to much gun". I aim for the breadbasket, there isn't a whole lot of meat to be had in that area. Besides the less they run after being shot the less I have to track

 

I'm fair with a rifle. 500m I can hit a 10" circle with iron sights...
That is impressive. Hitting a moving clay with a 22?

You got it, buddy.

Yeah, I just don't go over much...
I'll be there in a minute with comment!
