I have hunted for about 15 years with my Ruger No. 1B in .270 Win., so I'm accustomed to what in my opinion is a very fine Ruger rifle. Bear with me.
In recent years it is getting heavier to cart in and out of the woods. With a scope, it comes close to 10 lbs. But it's dead-accurate. No deer has ever taken a second shot, and none have been lost. I love that rifle and will probably never part with it.
My point is I replaced it last year with a Ruger American Rifle .270 Win. Almost 3 lbs lighter, free floated, crowned barrel, same tang safety as on my No. 1, quick, smooth 70 degree bolt throw, weatherproof stock that can take a beating. It shoots 130 gr. Remington Core-bons very well, at a very pleasant recoil for such a light rifle. I plan to see how it handles reloads with Nosler Accu-Bonds next year. And I like the rotary magazine, even though it feels pretty cheap. But I don't think I'll be putting thousands of rounds through my hunting rifle at my age. So the mag. will do just fine.
In short, I don't think you can find a better rifle for $350 street price. I have recommended it to several friends, especially now that they have the compact version available for youngsters and folks of shorter stature. Simply a great value in a fine rifle.
