[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 171152, member: 428"] This is what I was thinking. Not to oversimplify things, but a 150gr .270 has better BC than 155 Scenar in .308 with 20-30% more powder behind it. Why would .270 only be a <500 yd round? I've been told that if you have any wind, .308 is worthless beyond 600. Why couldn't .270 get you at least 800? I've had this .270 for 12 years, haven't used it for at least 5. I'm not a good shooter now but I was much worse then. Only took it out one weekend a year and it did it's job. Was looking at it in the safe and thought, "I really need to use this guns." I will never part with it for sentimental reasons but I'm not opposed to modifications to make it a better rifle. [/QUOTE]
