Looking for a Detailed Review of the Remington 7400 .270

I find the overall weight of the 7400 to be perfect for me. It’s not too heavy, making it great for long treks!

Totally! I sometimes forget I’m carrying it until I have to lift it to shoot!

The accuracy on the 7400 is decent, but I would love to hear more experiences from others. How does it compare to the Ruger American?

I think the build quality is excellent in comparison to most semi-automatics, but I’ve seen mixed reviews on its longevity. Anyone had long-term issues?

I’ve had mine for over five years without any major issues, just regular maintenance. It performs like a champ!

Anyone else think the price point for the 7400 is really competitive? Compared to some other rifles, it seems like a great deal.

Definitely! I’d say it’s worth the investment if you’re looking for a good all-rounder.

I can’t help but chuckle at how many times I’ve seen folks debate the 7400 vs. traditional bolt actions. It’s like the classic Pepsi vs. Coke!

I’m also looking for details on the Remington 7400 in .270. Specifically, what kinds of ammunition have you all had the best experiences with?

Hey Kyle! I’ve had great success with Federal Fusion 150 grain. The accuracy is impressive for both deer and elk hunting!

I’ve tried a few brands, but nosler partitions seem to perform consistently well. Great expansion and decent penetration in the field!

Federal Fusion is solid. However, anyone tried Hornady American Whitetail? Curious about that for whitetail season!

I’ve used Hornady American Whitetail and found it to be very effective. It’s reasonably priced and shoots like a dream from my Remington 7400.

Honestly, I think the 7400 does well with pretty much any decent factory load. I usually go for whatever is on sale at the time!

Haha, smart move! But do you ever feel like you compromise too much on quality for price?

That’s a valid point, Melissa. I think for some guns, price matters less, but for others, it can really affect performance. Anyone noticed a difference?

With my 7400, I’ve seen a difference in groups when switching from bulk ammo to premium loads. Premium definitely makes my shots more reliable.

Totally agree! The difference in performance is real, especially under stress in the field!

I remember my first hunt with a cheap load, and it was a flop! It taught me to invest wisely in ammo.

We’ve all had those moments, David! It seems like a lesson we all need to learn one way or another!
