target shooting = lots of repetitive firing, you want a heavier rifle in a calibre with less recoil

270 also takes a fair amount of powder, so once you start reloading, you will be faced with 2 additional problems : more powder to achieve what you could be doing with a short action, and less projectile choice as opposed to 30cal or 6.5mm

Looks like I made quite a big mistake on buying this rifle.
