Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

Well, as long as deer and elk haven't developed countermeasures, it's still relevant.
-
Love my 270. Taken mule deer, antelope, elk and moose. Never taken more than 2 shots, and never lost an animal. All under 400 yards. Thanks for sharing.
-
I saved up summer money and bought myself a Weatherby Vanguard .270 late 80's. I was 17. My non hunting parents thought I was crazy. My buddies were envious. I can remember showing it off to my football coaches at school.🤣🤣
-
I have ALWAYS said & ALWAYS will say that the 270 is the middle of the ROAD (Caliber) that will work for ANY & EVERYTHING
-
My late wife had a 270 Winchester. I reloaded for it, and it was the absolute most accurate rifle I ever shot. I haven't hunted since she died.
-
270 is still my favorite cartridge.
-
That .270 they show is actually beautiful. The front yellowish part of the stock actually complements the entire wooden stock. Beautiful work.
-
Go easy Ron. I love my 270. Win
-
The 270 has been and will be an awesome open country cartridge. EDIT: I really liked the story about inheriting a rifle that has a sentimental story.
-
Pre64 Mod 70 was, is, and will always be the greatest hunting rifle ever made. You have a fine specimen there. The 270 will still be here after all the newness and "can't find ammo for it" wears off and people come back to their senses. And it will happen.
-
I've had my model 70 for over 45 yrs. She's a tack driver. You'll be prying it out of my cold dead hands.

Jack O'Connor, who said that the 30-06 was the cartridge against which all other cartridges were judged, because it was the standard spent years extolling the virtues of the .270.

I live in sweden after listening to Ron and given the opportunity I bought a remington 700 lefty in 270win and I love it much better then my old 308w 😂
-
I seen a goat killed at 660 yards with a 140 grain Hornady sst 270win.savage rifle. Pretty good for outdated caliber.
-
Unless the deer got a lot tougher recently, the 270 still works just fine.
-
The 270Winchester is a great one 👍
-
Love my 270 Weatherby!
-
A .270 Win is still a superb round, and so many of the rifles chambered in that historic round are still around and shoot great.
-
I’ve thought that maybe I should have a 270, as a SHTF backup. Ammo is everywhere.
-
I have 2 rifles in the 270 win with 2 other 270 win in the shop being built from old mauser actions. I collect rifles and the 270 is one of my favorite as it was Jack O’Conner favorite too but my favorite is the 30-06 followed by the 300 wsm. 60+ years of collecting reloading and hunting and a man can never have to many rifles, those 8 rifles in the shop being built and having about every cartridge in my collection at one time or another! What made the 270 is when the scopes came out and made the 270’s extra reach available and that’s when Jack really started liking it because the 270 came out in 1925 and didn’t even make much of a splash until the Redfield snd Leupold scopes came on the scene!
