Great, thanks! I’ll definitely practice. Anyone ever had a funny mishap while hunting with a .270? I could use a good laugh!
.270 is a solid choice for elk hunting! When you’re stalking, remember to stay low and take your time. The rifle is great for that precision shot at a distance, especially with good optics.
I’ve had good success with a .270 at around 200-300 yards. Just ensure you’re zeroed in before the season starts!
Don’t forget about shot placement! Aiming for the shoulder can provide the best results with a .270, as it provides a bigger target area while ensuring a clean kill.
Exactly! Last season, I aimed right around the front shoulder and it worked perfectly. Just watch your angles.
Using a .270 for stand hunting can be effective too! Find a good spot where elk typically move and wait. You never know when they’ll come into range.

For sure! Just make sure the area you choose has plenty of cover, and keep your noise levels down!
It’s all about patience as well. The best hunters know that sometimes you just have to sit and wait with the .270. Elk can be unpredictable!

Absolutely! And don’t forget your snacks while waiting out there—it really helps pass the time!
Does anyone think the .270 packs enough punch for larger elk? I’ve heard some debate on this. I’m curious about your experiences!
I think it does! I’ve taken down big bulls with a .270, but practice is key. If you’re confident with the rifle, you’ll do just fine!
