Thats a great price. That scope is worth nearly half that value alone(new).

Remington Premium makes some nice ballistic tips in a 165gr called Accutips. Extremly lethal on deer. You can use 180gr but the 165gr is a little nicer on your shoulder.

For .270 Win? That sounds more like .308 or 30-06 weight.
For .270 you generally get 130 or 150gr and either of those are fine for the size of deer he'd be likely to see in TX.

What's a "deer"?

What you use as an excuse for why there's blood in the back of your SUV.

Yeah .308. For some reason I thought that is what he got I missed the .270 part.. I'm partial to the short actions.

I found the quote for when I priced out a 700SPS for my son. I was looking at $540 with no scope so you definitly got a sweet deal.
