Remington 700 or Winchester mod 70
Looking for a 270 winchester, I can’t decide between a 700 or Mod 70. What are the pluses and minuses of both actions? I already own a 700 in 300 win mag, A Sako in .243 and a FN mauser in 30-06 (that I plan on rechambering to 9.3 mauser or .35 whelen.

IIRC Controlled feed was only on the pre 64’s and the rifles made in the 90’s?

Do you need CRF and 3 position safety that was on the older model 70s? If so it is Winchester, otherwise personal preference.

If you already have a FN Mauser in 30-06 you plan on rebarreling why not put a 270 barrel on it?

I’ve thought of that, but felt that 9.3 Mauser would be more suitable/traditional in a Mauser action.

I own both. For new rifles, my new go to is a Tikka T-3X. I have one in 270 Win. It's not picky about ammo and it hits where I point it. It is my favorite rifle.
There's a good amount of after market parts for them. |

are you stuck on Rem or win?
I would assume by cartridge choice this is a hunting only rifle. I have both rifles in 7mag and 06'. how much upgrading do you want to do to a hunting only rifle, if in fact that's what you want.

If its between a 700 or a post 64, go with the 700 no question. Only 70 worth having is a pre 64 for that smooth action. The post 64 action is what Winchester did to compete with the cheaper push feed action of the 700. IMO, Remington does the push feed better in the 700.

You a nostalgia buff? Think Jack O'Connor and pre-64 Winchester Model 70 chambered in .270 Winchester. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_O%27Connor_(writer) ) And what the heck, they don't call it .270 WINCHESTER because you are supposed to put it in a REMINGTON??? On a more serious note, why the .270? It certainly is an excellent hunting cartridge but if you reload the bullet selection available, while generally adequate, is pretty limited compared to .30 cal. There is scant, if any, practical difference between the .270 and the 30-06, which you already have.

Any current M70 is "Pre 64 Style" and is patterned after the original CRF action. They are solid, reliable, and good to go if you want a straight forward rifle that you don't really plan on doing anything too.
If you plan on messing around with the aftermarket, the R700 has more options. I have not been impressed by Remington's out of the box quality, and have long since given up spending hard earned money on them. Seems that the clones like Bergara do it better than the original.

I generally concur, but the post-64 Model 70 Classic with the controlled feed is pretty good too.

Looking at what you have,myself I would go with the Winchester because you dont have one.
My Uncle was a WWII D-DAY vet and used the 03 as the squad sniper. He Hunted with his old 70 in .270 all his life killed many a Deer. |

Then get a CRF model 70 in 270 and dig out the old O'Conner articles...

I have 2 of the Remington 700's in .270 Winchester and they are tack drivers. I have a .375 H&H model 70 Winchester, also a great rifle.
Personally I like the Remington action and operation better than the Winchester. They both are classics and you won't make a wrong choice, pick the one that feels the best to you. |

??? If you say so. My take is you load a lighter grain bullet and thereby pump up the velocity for reliable expansion.

Between the two I would go Remington. If looking for a cheap but very good hunting rifle I would suggest the Mauser M18. I bought one from Euro optic for $419 on sale. What a great rifle for a hunting rifle. Takes Remington 700 scope base and has a phenomenal trigger. Well worth the money over other base rifles.

Browning if the owner will settle for the life of whatever factory setup it comes with. I’ve had guys ask me what kinda barrel or stock or trigger or scope base I've got on my 700. I ask what kinda rifle they have. They say browning.....I shake my head.....and say ur pretty much screwed....u got very tiny options in terms of mods.

If you are a " purist " go for the Winchester 270, my son in law has a USRA win 70 CRF and it lays 'em down ! If the e pluribus was not a issue I would get one of the new Winchesters now. But, my BAR Belgium made 7 rem mag lays 'em down also. And .270 win is .277 cal.

Buy one with your stimulus check.
You will help out Winchester, the distributor, your local gun shop, and finally, yourself. The nation will be better for your helping out of the economy. Warning! Do not go to Cabela's and look at a Super Grade in person. You won't be able to resist. I damn near bought one and admitted to the salesman when he asked what I'd use it for - to look at. |

I have a newish Winchester Model 70 Alaskan model in .30-06 and it is a very fine rifle, much nicer than any Remington 700’s I have handled.
The Winchester rifles are now assembled in Portugal by FN with USA parts, but the rifle is beautifully blued with a super smooth action (controlled feed style), very nice walnut, and very accurate. It also cost well over 1200 dollars, so not bargain priced. It is so nice I would like another in .270 Winchester or .264 Win Mag. The Sporter model looks nice, and the Extreme Weather or Extreme Tungsten are super cool. The Super grade models are dreamy. Try and get a 24 inch barrel for your .270 for best performance. http://www.winchesterguns.com/produc...-Products.html |

Current production Winchesters are controlled feed.

If it were me, I’d go with a current production m70 featherweight in 270win. I doubt you’ll ever feel like it was a mistake.
Sure a 30.06 with 150gr bullets will do the same thing with copper but I don’t think there’s anything in CA that you’ll have trouble killing with a 270.
