If you want a premium rifle that won’t weigh you down, this is a solid choice.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: TriggerTech trigger is adjustable and breaks cleanly with no creep.
• Pro: Accubrake ST effectively reduces recoil without being overly loud.
• Con: The .270 Weatherby Magnum ammunition can be harder to find and more expensive than common calibers like .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor.
