Also partial to a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 7mm-08. Also sporting a 50mm Vortex. Both of those put deer on the ground last year. Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

I simply cannot be convinced otherwise. There's not a more perfect deer hunting round. If you want the best .270 WIN, get a Tikka T3 Lite as mentioned above (matte stainless and synthetic stock). That is absolutely the most perfect deer hunting rifle on the planet. Ever shot one with a 375 Win ?

I struggle with a Sako Finnlight Model 75 in .308 topped with a 2.5-8 Leupold . I know it doesn’t seem right. Love fixed power not as many being made these days. They’re lighter, brighter, cheaper, and have longer eye relief. You don’t ever worry about where it’s set, just point and shoot. If I had a variable I prob wouldn’t set it above 4x unless I was at the range. Only thing is its a little too much for brush hunting, I’d rather have 2.5x. In those situations I use a 30-30 with a pistol size red dot.

With 180gr Remington Core Lokt, it shoots a lot better than it ought to, to be so cheap. There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2.
