Weighing a mere 5.9 pounds (6-lug Action), SUB-MOA accuracy, and durable performance finish, this rifle is home in any backcountry situation. The #2 contour fluted barrel cuts precious pounds for backpack trips. The hand-laid fiberglass Monte Carlo stock with aluminum bedding blocks gives this rifle a strong foundation to make the cross-canyon shots when the opportunity presents itself. The spiral fluted bolt body aides in the reduction of weight, and the Cerakote® finish on all metalwork guarantees a life of rugged dependability

The 270 Weatherby Magnum was developed by Roy Weatherby in 1944 and was one of the original offerings when his gun company was founded a year later. Based on the belted 300 H&H case shortened to 2.549 inches, it can be housed in 30-06 length-actions and is easily the fastest 270-caliber cartridge, shooting flatter than the others and delivering more energy. Weatherby loads include a 130-grain bullet at 3375 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 3245, very high velocity that makes it one of the flattest-shooting commercial cartridges and a fine choice for hunting game up to elk at longer ranges. It is the second-most popular Weatherby Magnum cartridge (after the 300 Weatherby Magnum). Federal also offers factory loads, and a few other rifle manufacturers have offered 270 Weatherby Magnum rifles. — Craig Boddington
