    My missus has a Weatherby Vanguard one. Very accurate with plenty of power.

    I have a Ruger m77 and a savage weather warrior. Not sure why I have 2 as I can only use 1 at a time.

    As for the .270wsm. if they called it the 6.858wsm I'd be all over one like the measles

    Mine is a Browning x-bolt. I'll be hanging on to it for awhile, I think. Only thing it needs is a faster twist. It's pretty much limited to 150gr or less.
    Used to be a fine wine - now I'm vinegar.
