Heck no, don't ever put one of those things on a hunting rifle, and you definately don't need it on a .270, and if you do, then I suggest you trade the rifle off for a 25-06 and shoot 100gr bullets as it will kick some less then the .270 and kill just as well, at least for deer sized game, but I like the .270, as well as the 25-06 for this class of rifle power.
