I’ve had my Remington 7400 in .270 for several years now. It performs excellently for hunting. I’ve taken deer at distance with great accuracy, but it does seem heavier than some others in the field.

I agree! The .270 is a classic hunting caliber. How does it perform in terms of recoil and follow-up shots?

4

The recoil is manageable, especially for a .270. I’ve found the follow-up shots to be quick with practice. It’s a versatile rifle for both hunting and target shooting, really.

5

I’ve used it for some informal target shooting. It’s decent but not as tight grouping as my bolt-action. Still fun to shoot!

6

For target shooting, I recommend trying some different ammo types. I’ve seen improvements in accuracy with quality rounds. Don’t forget to fine-tune your scope too!

7

I also found that the rifle likes certain ammo better than others. What have you guys settled on for hunting loads?

8

For me, 130-grain Nosler Accubonds are my go-to. They perform great on deer!

9

I’ve used Remington Core-Lokt 150-grain rounds, which have always delivered solid performance. They really knock them down with authority!

10

That’s what I like about .270. You know you’re getting sufficient knockdown power without going overboard on recoil.

11

I’d love to hear more about long-range performance. Has anyone used the Remington 7400 effectively for distances beyond 300 yards?

12

I have! With a properly dialed scope, it’s surprisingly effective. Just practice windage adjustments.

13

That’s good to know! I usually stick to less than 200 yards for hunting. My shots are more effective closer in. Do you think it can hold up for competition?

14

Maybe for informal competitions, but for precision matches, I’d go bolt-action. Still, it’s a solid choice for general use!

15

In conclusion, the Remington 7400 .270 is a reliable option for both hunting and casual shooting. Just keep in mind its strengths and upgrade as necessary!

16

I’m also looking to hear about the build quality of the Remington 7400 in .270. I’ve heard it’s solid, but how does it hold up compared to others in its class?

17

I’ve owned a Remington 7400 for a few years, and I have to say the materials feel premium. The wood finish is stunning, and the metal parts are robust. Definitely a keeper!

The Remington 7400’s ergonomic design is quite good! It fits nicely in my hands, unlike some other rifles that feel bulky.

19

While the 7400 does have a good reputation, I prefer the feel of a bolt action. They typically have better accuracy at range. Anyone agree?

20

I see where you’re coming from, but the 7400 is designed for quick follow-up shots, which is why I love it for hunting situations.
