Im a big .270 fan, so pretty much agree. However the modern world has done something too the 270 that the beginner has to be aware of. Its a cartrdige that was designed and gets its best performance easily with a longer barrel. Dont buy a 270 if it has a 20 or 21inch barrel. look out for one with a 24 inch barrel.
