I sited my .270 in today after this morning's hunt. I know this isn't a great deal, but I was proud...I put a new scope on it, I look through the barrel with the bolt removed and line the barrel and scope on the target as best I can. It took only 3 shots to get it in the bull and 2 more to make sure of the zero.

This is from 50 yards (which I know is handgun range for some of ya'll) because that is where I site in at. Was sitting on ground with shooting stix for support. The first 3 shots were with some old winchester heavy grain elk loads (130gr corelockts are hard to come by LOL) I used them to "get close" then fired the last 2 shots with 130gr corelockts. So basically, the 3 shots in the bull were two different grain weights and brands...the win ammo is 9 years old and the rem ammo is about 2 years old. I moved the scope 2 clicks left, so the 2 holes in center are a different zero then the 3rd hole on the right. After the center two, I put the scope two clicks up...so it will be about 1/2" high at 50 yards, just like I like it!

I'm not bragging, because I know it's not a great feat to shoot a group at 50 yards. I just love my cheap Wal-Mart rifle!
Gun is a stock Rem700 ADL (I added a factory wood stock) in .270win with a Bushnell 3x9x40mm scope. Paid about 420$ for the rifle NIB in 2001 and the scope is about 70$...I know, I need a better scope. LOL

sorry this rambled on so long...I've been up since 4:45AM.

p.s. I just realized I sounded stupid...I DID NOT hunt with the 700 this morning! I used my 30/30 for the morning hunt...I wouldn't hunt with a rifle that wasn't sited in!

That's an excellent combo for whitetail. And we knew you loved your .270

[nathangdad]

great rifle and great caliber.
You should be proud.

you know for being a " cheep" walmart rifle rem700 is still a well loved and respected weapon so even a company such as walmart cant tarnish the name Remington ( good thing too because we all know they dont always have the best quality in other things)

That's what I'd expect from a Remington 700. The action is the same on all of the 700 series. You pay extra for the hinged floor plate and better wood on the CDL. But to me, it's worth the extra coin. Good job!

It's put at least 10 deer in the deep-freeze...maybe a couple more.
LOL and some 'yotes, and 'dillers and one horse (broken back, had to put down).

You must have big freezer if you can put 10 deer, some 'yotes, 'dillers
and a horse in there!
