I've got a Browning A-bolt in .270 and I love it dearly trigger is clean and it shoots sub MOA, I also have a Savage Heavy bbl. in .223 for the money it simply can't be beat, and it'll shoot 1/2" groups at 200yds. on my better days, then there is my Winchester M70 Heavy Varmint in .308 (push feed action) it's my favorite accuracy set up, good trigger dependable rifle. I also have a M70 claw extractor in .270 Weatherby Mag it is by far the prettiest of all the rifles I mentioned, it is not a tack driver however, now that's not to say it won't kill and elk at 400yds but you have a pretty good size target on an elk, and that's all I've used it for, also on bullets designed for optimum performance on big game tend to give up a little in the accuracy department. If the rifle is going to be used for hunting big game then any of the rifles mentioned will do the job, and I'd recommend the M70 with controlled round feed. To me there's still some mystique to "The Rifleman's Rifle".
