I like 270/30-06 and I have few other hunting rifles. I always take back up and last year took 30-06 and 270 and both have same McMillan stock, 270 has Lilja barrel,30-06 has Shilen. 2nd season here in Co is only 9 days long so switch rifles every couple days.
Coaltrain49, what year did military drop 308 for the. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/9/20/us-m16-a-half-century-of-america-s-combat-rifle/
I have both and carry both,
Virtually a tossup. One shoots flatter, the other delivers a bigger bullet. I bought a .270 nearly 20 years ago and have never regretted it. If I were buying today though, it would probably be a 7-08.
Yeah, I'm not sure either. My wife has (had) two 7mm-08s. Our oldest daughter kind of laid claim to one of my wife's 7mm-08s, and her oldest son, our grandson did the same to the other. Those 3 hunters, my wife, our oldest daughter, and now our grandson have taken more mule deer with those rifles than I can remember.I'm not sure why that one hasn't become more popular. Actually the best of both worlds. A 308 case and a 7mm bullet.
Great analogy!Seems like a Ford vs. Chevy discussion. Both will get you there, but the .270 Win gets Chevy-like style points and the '06 is more like an old Ford V8 pickup. Yes, either one will get you there, but I like getting there in style!
