Would a .270 weatherby topped by a barska 3-9x40 scope using winchester superx be good for deer hunting?

I know the .270 is an excelent round for deer hunting but was wondering if it was an accurate round out to 400 meters and the rifle is my main concernWould a .270 weatherby topped by a barska 3-9x40 scope using winchester superx be good for deer hunting?
it is perfect for anything from coyote to moose out to 500 yardsWould a .270 weatherby topped by a barska 3-9x40 scope using winchester superx be good for deer hunting?
Do you mean a weatherby rifle chambered for 270 winchester?





Or do you mean a %26lt;insert brand name here%26gt; rifle chambered for 270 weatherby?





Anyways, most deer are shot within 100 yards and 95% of them are shot within 200 yards





If you are going to lie about your shooting skills, make your lies more believable. Few people can shoot 1 MOA using a benchrest. Fewerer still can do it standing up, like how most hunting shots are taken.





The rifle and either cartridge will be more than adequate in accuracy for your concern, and the eadequatell be more than adeuqate as well.





The weakness in your setup is #1 shooter ability and #2 the cheap scope may loose zero easily
The only weak link in your program is the Barsca Scope... The .270 is perfect for deer...





Those Barsca scopes are generally low quality and I cant imagine they would be very accurate beyond 200 yards... Consider a Nikon or Leupold...

With that round and that gun it will depend on how good you are. The weapon and cartridge are easily good to 300 M. 400 M with any round takes practice but this is one that will do it. Check the ballistics of this and the other chambering you want.
Weatherby's are excellent rifles. I own two. The rifle can do it's job.





I don't own a Barska scope, so I cannot offer first hand experience.





The question here is can you hit a target at 400 meters? Not many people can.
At 400 yards the wind drift on a .270 Weatherby Magnum is about 14 inches.





At 500 yards the wind drift goes up to about 23 inches.





Hope this helps.



The vast majority of big and small game is harvested within 100 yards or less.*
Are You a Good Shoot?? That more important.
