I am trying to get an idea of what to expect from my Remington 7400 in 270 win. I bought this rifle new in the late fall of 2004,but never really got around to playing with it. It was more of an impulse buy and I thought that I needed it. Since I got it late in the deer season I continued to use my Mossberg 100atr (also 270). The following year I busted the synthetic stock trying to install sling swivels (drilled hole too small). and it has been in the safe since. I recently got a ramline replacement stock for the rifle. The stock has a little longer length of pull, but enough that the scope set up will not work due to eye relief I already have off set rings with 3-9x50 scope. I was looking at the Bushnell Banner Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm Long Eye Relief Multi-X Reticle from midway or the Cabela's Big Game Turret Tactical Scopes. I have a very limited budget since I have not worked since my motorcycle crash in april. I would really like to make this my go to gun, but I have read some negative posts regarding this rifle and it jamming and wearing out. I have not had a jam yet, but I only shot it a few times. I never even got around to sighting in the scope that I had put on it. I have hunted with a 270 for a long time and it replaced a 30-30 win 94. I will only be shooting around 150 yrds or less. I load my own rounds which is a 130gn hornady sst ontop of 58.5gn of h4831sc. This combo is very effective and accurate in my mossberg.
