Use what you got for a scope, and save up for something nice down the road, just bought the wife a 700 Remington BDL in a 270 with a Nikon Monarch 4x12 with Leuopold one piece base, with a trigger pull of 3 lbs, won't suggest to go any lower for safety reason, barrel sited at 25yrds. and shot 3 at the target, moved back at 100yds within a box of factory Remington 130gr core lokt pointed soft points she had a group of three in a 1' circle. She hunted with a Remington 243 with 4x16.5 Simmons for about 7 years, this year the scope is not holding a group, have to send it in.You have a nice set up, that Savage Accutrigger is a very nice gun. Take care of it and it will last a lifetime. Let us know about the dirt dances it does.

I would hope that muzzle break is removable. I'd hate to see someone have to hunt with earplugs muffs one of your sences.

I'm not a fan of MB, but if your rifle has one, so be it. You will not be able to get a decent scope for $100. Check on e-bay often for a used Nikon if you want or a Leup. which I prefer. You can find a Leup. VXII for araound $150 & it will beat your Simmons hands down. @" high @ 100 will get you on @ 250 & about 3" low @ 300. Now time to practice!

First you don't need a MAG to kill a white tail. Try looking at a 280 or a 7MM-08 with a 24 in. barrel. they will take animals up to elk size game with the right bullet. I love mine. Look at the new rem. CDL 700 they are very nice.

i've already got the rifle on order cant change it now. besides im very excited about this rifle.

good for you! take a look at the weaver k6 or k4. around your price range and nice glass for the coin. they are not variables but you will be very surprised how little you use the variable. your using your binocs for spotting i hope
the 6x will afford plenty of power for long range and offers a good field of view at shorter ranges. it is simlple, light and rugged.....

y must i clean from the rear? because it pushes the bad stuff outta the barrel and not in the action? and i kinda planned not to start reloading for now im gonna go with some factory loads

i have a universal 22 through 7mm cleaning kit but its cheap and has a 3 piece rod. will that work for now? also if u ppl know anybody or u yourself shoot a 270.wsm plz give me ur best factory load?

by that i mean gimme wut the rifle shoots best dont accually send my ammo. (thinks o wait y am i typing this they knew wut i was saying the first time.)

CK- not to pick on you-
but most of us are kinda old farts and don't really communicate in short abbreviated text messaging/spelling.
It would be easier for us to understand you if you would at least spell out the words. We'll forgive you if you don't capitalize when you need to.

If you use the cheap 3-piece aluminum cleaning rod try to be sure and go as straight as possible. Pick up a good 1-piece fiberglass cleaning rod as soon as you can.
BTW- I carry a 7-piece aluminum cleaning rod in my hunting pack with some patches. If I ever get anything in the bore when I'm out hunting I have something to clean it with- it's not my good one piece fiberglass rod but I didn't have to go all the way back to the truck to clean the crud out of the barrel.
BTW- It's the same rod I carried in Vietnam.

OK i just play alot of games online and am in chat rooms of yahoo regularly, and you learn to be quick with your typin otherwise u get killed/cussed out for not paying attention. i will be better at spellin my words out. but i been typin this way for years hard to break old habits. and yes no short words means i gotta give more thought and take more time so no capitalization. GO GEORGE BUSH AS PREDIDENT! (he won you know)

For a reasonably priced scope, I'd go with Sightron. I got an SI 3-9x40 for $109 from MidwayUSA on sale. They go for around $150 normally. I am very impressed with this scope. You also might want to check out Weaver scopes, they're very good for the price too. Unless you buy used, those are really the only companies that offer decent scopes for under $200. You can always buy a used scope, especially if you can find a Leupold, since they've got such a good warranty.

One bit of advice I'd add for you, and that's to practice with your new rifle A LOT. Also, don't get too enamored with long range shooting, even though you've got a really flat shooter in that .270 WSM, shots past 300 yards are very tough to make, unless you've practiced at that range. I've taken upwards of 20 whitetails, and only ever shot one at over 200 yards.

If you don't have a bore guide, take a fired case and drill out the primer pocket enough so your cleaning rod will fit thru it. Put that over your cleaning rod when you clean and use it as a bore guide.

i found 2 choices of scopes a 3-9x40 nikon rifleman or a leupold 2-7x33? like both scope both are equal price $200 but i think i will do best with the 3-9 for this flat shooter im gettin. by the way the rifle arives tommorow but i dont have anywhere to shoot yet but the range report will be posted for all you interested. im not lookin for phenominal accuracy but i do expect at least 1''moa. now for that matter how do i increase accuracy? any technics u guys/girls can offer to a youngin like me?

first off good luck with your new rifle.

reloading is probably the most sure fire way to get more accuracy.

I have been reloading for about a year now. mostly .45auto but just started with 30-06 a few months back. and the accuracy diffrence between hand load and factory is amazing in my rifle.

before you reload you will need a few things.

a: several hundred dollars to aquire all the equipment. you can buy used or new, but a decent press, dies, scale, etc etc will add up. dont worry in the long run you will save money.... unless you get like other people and add more then you need. (hey look, I got this old .XXX die set cheap... now I need a rifle to go along with it.") and plan on buying several reloading books... when you compare data from one to the other you will see why.

b: a designated area to reload. I bought a cheap used computer desk (prefab particleboard type) that sits in a corner in my bedroom. nothing but firearms stuff hits that table, this keeps the distractions down when reloading and prevents problems. yes you can use a temporary setup that you breakdown after you are done but it will get tedious after a while.

c: patients. getting it right takes some time. loads you think will work won't and others will that shouldn't. this can frustrate the best of us but the payoffs are worth it. (my 30-06 shot 1.5-2" @100yrds with factory, I found a load with similar bullets that shot a .6" and I havent even got to diffrent weight bullets yet.) you will also need to do things by the book. shortcuts before you really know what you are doing can be deadly. I am sure there are plenty of people here that can relate a story about when they rushed and things went "not so good" for them. also every rifle is diffrent. so you need to fine the reload that you rifle "likes" this can take alot of time.

d: leave the ego at the door. you WILL screw up. if you even suspect that it is possible that you screwed up even minorly, stop and check. more often then not it will be fine but the one time might save your gun and yourself.

e: a good place for help and info. this can be you local shop, a friend that does this or the reloading forums here.

if you do choose to reload dont be affraid to ask questions. and run searches in the reloading forum for anything you can think of. its amazing all the little tips you can come up with from this place.
