I have been looking online at some rifles after I failed to put down a huge buck with an sks. For my money I am looking at a savage axis and a Remington 770. Obviously both are American built quality guns, but which one is more powerful?

The remington is 300 hp and the savage is about 325 hp.

The 770 is not something I'd spend money on, and I'm a Rem fan.

As far as power goes, that depends on caliber.

Well say they are both .270, which one would be more powerful?

Same cartridge/caliber same power.

Do not buy the 770. If one has a longer barrel than the other the longer barrel will provide more velocity.

Priceless!

You have got to be kidding me right? You need to slow down and learn something about hunting before you go out and take any more rushed head shots... JMHO

x2

you need to go do alot more learning

Why do you say?

If his threads aren't a joke he could learn here.

Obviously whoever he has been learning from don't know squat.

? I don't follow... I know a .270 is a good deer round, but which RiFlE will shoot that bullet more powerful? I plan on shooting ballistic tips and making only body shot when they stand still until I get real used tO the gun. Also are BSA scopes worth their price tag? I have a fixed 4x tasco but like the looks of a 6-18x BSA which in time ahould give me 1000 meter capabilty...i jjust don't like the expensive price tag! Oh well you only live once right?

There is no appreciable difference between rifles as far as power goes using the same caliber ammo.

Tasco BSA and the like aren't worth the trouble it takes to throw them in the trash can.

I wouldnt put much faith in BSA scopes.

A 270 winchester is a 270 winchester no matter what rifle it is fired from(for the most part)barel length can have a small(un noticable difference). And shoot winchester or remington or hornady 130-140 grain soft points.

I would recomend looking for a good used remington weatherby vanguard, savage in your price range and put a nikon scope on it.

Just because you have an 18 power scope doesnt mean you can shoot 1000 meters.

WOW

I know I am in no way ready to shoot that far now but maybe one day which is why I figured I should start out with a high end scope like that BSA so I wouldn't need to upgrade. I guess I was mistaken to think one rifle makes the bullet more powerful than another. I have heard some people say a 300 weatherby is more powerful than a 300 Winchester though and as expensive as those weatherbys are I figured that might be true

I cant tell if your being serious or not....did you realy go deer hunting with an SKS....i mean i know it will do the job with the right shot placement...but realy

Is an sks not a legal rifle? It is a semi auto cemterfire with a 4x scope. I know it's not a long range rifle but at 30 or 50 yrda or so I never thought it would let me down.

300 weatherby and 300 winchester are different calibers. like a 308 and 30-06 are different calibers, they both have the same diameter bullet but that is all they share.

Im sorry my post wasnt exactly frindly.. but wherever you got your firearm knowledge from... stop throw it away and start again.

The SKS did not let you down it is more than capable of killing deer at and past that range. Your choices and ability let you down. Practice!

Ok thanks for your input

BSA scope,,, high end, This has got to be a joke.

Cartridge on the left is a .300 Weatherby mag, cartridge in center is a .300 win mag, on right is what happens when you fire a .300 WM in a .300 WBY.

As you can see there is quite a difference between WBYmag and Win mag cartridge though each propel the same caliber bullet.

You sure that wasnt a 30 win mag fired in a 300 wby?
