Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 270 Scope for sale
What scope should I put on my 270?
A 3-9x40 covers most .270 hunting situations. If you shoot past 300 yards regularly, step up to a 4-14x or 5-15x. Stick with reputable brands like Leupold, Vortex, or Burris. Match the scope quality to your rifle's value and intended use.
What range should you sight in a 270?
Most hunters zero a .270 at 100 or 200 yards. Sighting 1.5 inches high at 100 yards achieves a 200-yard zero with standard 130-grain loads, keeping shots within 3 inches of point of aim out to roughly 275–300 yards, minimizing holdover for deer-sized game.
Is the Ruger American 270 a good rifle?
The Ruger American in .270 is a reliable, accurate hunting rifle suitable for deer and elk. It features an adjustable trigger and smooth bolt action. The synthetic stock feels basic, but at roughly $595 retail, it delivers strong performance for the price.
What 270 rifle has a scope?
Several .270 rifles come packaged with scopes. The Savage Axis II XP includes a mounted Bushnell scope for around $595. The Mossberg Patriot is also available in a scope combo package. Both are solid options if you want a ready-to-shoot setup without buying optics separately.
How far will a 270 drop at 300 yards?
A .270 Winchester drops approximately 4–6 inches at 300 yards depending on bullet weight and muzzle velocity. Standard 130-grain loads typically fall around 5 inches. To minimize holdover at 300 yards, sight in approximately 3.5 inches high at 100 yards rather than 1.5 inches, which still leaves significant drop.
Is a 270 weaker than a 308?
The .270 Winchester shoots lighter, faster bullets with a flatter trajectory and carries more energy at short to medium ranges. The .308 Winchester gains an energy advantage at longer distances. Neither is objectively weaker—choice depends on distance and game size. Both are effective for deer and elk.
How far can you accurately shoot a deer with a 270?
Most hunters shoot deer accurately with a .270 out to 300–400 yards. With proper technique and ammunition, the cartridge retains sufficient energy beyond 500 yards, but ethical shots on live game should stay within 400 yards for most hunters. Its flat trajectory makes it well-suited for open-country deer hunting.
