[QUOTE="lightningkylej, post: 1406345, member: 16282"] My vote is for a Tikka T3 Lite or Hunter in a .270 with a Nikon Buckmaster in either a 4-12x50mm or 3-9x40mm if you want to stick with the factory supplied rings (that is what I have and haven't noticed any movement yet although they do look weak). Bud's Gun shop has the tikka lite for $525 and the 50mm Nikon for $300, a little less for the 40mm. I have two .270's and they both shoot very well, under 1 MOA with almost all the ammo out there. I use federal game shock 130gr ($14/20 at Wally world) until I get some time at the range to test some handloads courtesy of a much more experienced marksmans than myself. The most recent of my .270's was a Tikka T3 lite in stainless, only Tikka version available for a lefty, that I received a couple of weeks ago as an early Christmas present from my wife. Finally got to take it out today for the first time to shoot it. Action is as smooth as silk, trigger takes no effort, and recoil was very tolerable. Everthing is great except the synthetic stock really doesn't do anything for me. T3 Hunter would be great but not available for a lefty. [/QUOTE]
