    To Bushpig or not to Bushpig this is the question what are your thoughts?

    Hi All I Have a mossberg 270 ATR fluted barrel and decent brake on the end full length (24" Or something).
    Im looking to build a Bushpig (Well for my mate not me) something nice and short for knocking round in the bush chasing stags and such.

    I'm thinking 400m Max range set up for 1-200M.

    Now I have an unexplained prejudice against the ole 270 I just think there are much better calibers out there (all of them haha).

    But I do not want this to affect my Buddy getting the best gun for the job so, Shall we bush pig this gun (It is a very nice example of an ATR) or try trade it for a 30cal or something like that?

    I feel like short barrels are not the most efficient use of a 270's ballistics??

    Will probably use factory ammo at this stage.
