.270 win or .270 wsm???
351754
A .270 win is easier to find.  The .270 wsm is a newer model, it is cut down and the powder is supposed to burn more uniformly and shoot faster and more accurate.  You can't shoot both of these out of the same gun(just making sure you know that). If you cant make up your mind I would just go with the .270 win, if you do go with the wsm just go ahead and get you a few boxes of cartridges.

I've used both in my 12 ga. 870 with rifled choke tube and red bead front sight. They both seem to shoot well and I usually pick up whichever is on sale.\n I just sighted in a new fully rifled ported cantilever barrel with a 3x9-32 scope a few weeks ago. While both of the cheaper slugs still shoot well in the new barrel I found that Brenneke heavy field short magnums shoot a little better and pack more punch. It is a 1-1/4 oz. Emerald Slug. I picked them up at Gander Mountain for $4.49 per box of 5, compared to the $2.49-2.99 for the Remington or Winchester 1 oz. slugs.\n \n Remington slugs are 1560 fps muzzle, 1175 @ 50 yds., and 977 @ 100 yds.  They have 1340 foot lbs. of energy @ 50 yds. and 926 @ 100 yds.\n Winchester slugs are 1600 fps muzzle, 1161 @ 50 yds., and 953 @ 100 yds. They have 1310 foot lbs. of energy @ 50 yds. and 882 @ 100 yds.\n  Brenneke slugs are 1476 fps muzzle, 1174 @ 50 yds., and 1002 @ 100 yds. They have 1606 foot lbs. of energy @ 50 yds. and 1170 @ 100 yds.\n The Brenneke's shoot very well through the new barrel, so I went back and picked up a few more boxes just to have on hand.

My preferance between the two would be the .308.  There's a great deal of ammunition for this caliber in a wide range of bullet types and weights to suit any need you might ever have.  Since it is a standard NATO chambering (7.62mm), there is a great deal of cheap, high quality ammunition to practice with avalible. It is a very accurate cartridge and is capable of taking almost any large game in North America.  You can even hunt smaller game if you like by selecting a lower bullet weight loading. You can't go wrong with a .308 anyway you look at it!

dont get a 98 custom, if you want one just get the custom pro because its the same as a 98 custom but upgraded.  you can also get an tippmann A-5 i have both guns and i love both of them they can take a beating and they are very upgradeable.

i would have to say the ak/sks hands down. no matter if there is mud or water or anything. rack a round and that sob will shoot. unlike the m-16/ar-15 there prone to more jams. my romanian ak has never jammed on me that wasn't my fault. such as not loading the rounds right or having the tip not over the follower. my dpms panther has to be babied after 300 rounds.i have to clean the bolt and receiver out to clear out the build up of powder.

youre not gonna find many pumps out there.  most of the time you will find a good semi-auto for around 100 to 200 dollars.  i personally have a tippmann 98 custom qhich is like a recreational god becuase its so cheap, durable, and you can upgrade it to your style of play.  to start off the gun costs between 150 and 170 dollars, depending on where you get it.  second you can bang it up dunk it under water, and possibly run a car over it and it will still work like new.  as far as the upgrades, you can turn it into a gun that can compete with those freaking expensive guns for around 300 to 400 dollars including the kit price even though it is tournament legal out of the box.  i put on a collapsible stock and a flatline barrel which increased my accuracy and range 10 fold.  when i finished with it i will have a nitrogen tank (it can run on nitrogen without mods) a cyclone hopper or a halo b hopper, an electronic trigger, and a remote line or drop forward.  the tippmann 98 custom is the only gun i have ever needed because of that.  oh and one more thing.  you can field strip it and fix it in the field meaning you can take the gun apart and fix any problems while in the game.  hope you find this helpful.  have e great time playing

I second the Rem 710 for you. Can't go wrong and you can always trade it up in the future if you want, knowing you can get 80% or more of what you invested.  \n\nIt's a great beginner package, good quality and easy to operate and clean. \n\nStart with a bolt action gun. It will shoot better than you....meaning you can practice a lot from a bench rest and work on your shooting skills without dealing with the complexities of a semi-auto. \n\n30.06 is a good calibre. Easy to find and cheap practice ammo and it will serve to hunt just about anything you want in North America. Don't be seduced by any of the Magnum calibres. They are often more than is needed and can be expensive to practice with. They are in my book just "macho toys" for big boys.

I am going to say Browning. They are a little pricier than the Remington's which are also great guns by the way but the Browning line of guns are so smooth and accurate. I have a Browning 270 BLR and love it. I have shot many different guns in all configurations but this is my all out favorite. It is fast and flat shooting and accurate and silky smooth with the lever , trigger and the hammer. It has the lever safety and also the folding hammer and half cocked safety so that you can feel sure the gun will not accidentally fire and it is a beautiful looking gun too. Hope I have been helpful.

my favorite in a handgun has to be a ruger vaquero 44 mag now i also like a colt commander in .45 acp. in rifles i buy cheap but what is cheap?im not going to purchase a kimber nor a weatherby. to much cash for a gret rifle and if it has that great looking barrel etching and the stock engraving why bother?i would probably be looking for anything that would scratch the rifle and harm the wood instead of hunting.i buy remington with the carbolite stock i have a few in the 700bdl and i dont have to be worried about marring the finish or scrstching the stock.a new custom stock for a 700BDL in the .300 magnum is roughly 359.00 but you add s/h to it will be over 400 bucks.this is a price from cabelas

#7 birdshot.  Minimal drywall penetration and good stopping power.  Only reason to move to 00 buckshot is if you are defending over a longer distance or in winter when bad folks might wear very heavy clothing.

Like Madaxe said all AK's are pretty good, and roughly the same performance wise. In my experience the Romanian W.A.S.R 10 is a little cheaper and more available than the Chinese Mak 90's.

definatly, I think you will be a lot better off with a gun that you know and trust, and in my opinion I would trust the model  70 over any other gun out there, the most important thing is shot placement. If you can hit the vitals a .270 will do the job just fine.

the browning BL22 is a much better rifle,never jams and short lever throw..but you can find a marlin 39 at most gunshops  or walmart

Check www.gunbroker.com to see what they sell for. It sounds good to me. I had one a few years back, ate buckshot and birdshot with no problems. I think I still have a pistol grip and heat sheild that I never put on it. It was stolen with my vehicle, sad to say and never replaced it.

Hello Johnny - good question! This link may help but saying which is best is a tough one; they are probably all good. Hope this link helps\n\nhttp://www.txmma.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Web_Links&file=index&l_op=viewlink&cid=1

I'm not impressed with the .223 round. No recoil, all-plastic can't beat a bad guy with it if you need to. When I'm firing my weapon I disassociate from my emotions, but my Peacemaker does have a little kick, had a Glock .40 kicked worse than my .45 so I sold it. My 1911 I can hit just about anything

The .270 Winchester is a stellar deer gun.  It will work on hogs also.  Remember neck/head shot only for hogs in excess of 400 lbs. and use the 150 grain bullet if you are specifically hunting hog; the heavier bullet will give you a penetration advantage.  Either 130 or 150 will work well on deer.\n\nIf you wanted the .308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) or even the old .30-06 you wouldn't go wrong.  Since you asked specifically about the .270, then yes, it is a good choice.  I have one myself.\n\nH
