I'm not that familiar with rifles so I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. That makes the decision easier. I know both were popular choices so both cartridges should be real easy to find

I bought my wife a 270 Ruger American, it’s cheap, very little recoil and shoots lights out accurate. I have a 8lb Ruger .300 win mag and there is no way in heck I’d have her shoot that bucking machine. Matter of fact I shot my deer with her .270 the other day and after seeing what the 130gr Barnes ttsx did to that buck I might just use it for spike elk in a couple weeks. I’d go .270 if you love your wife.

Having just bought a Howa Hogue 1500 from Sportsmans Warehouse I can tell you the Gameking package it a better buy. The 20 moa rail and a set of rings and you've just spent the same amount of money. The Gameking scope leaves much to be desired but the rings are pretty decent. I bought this as I'm walking away from Remington after I get a full bed stock for my 300 I'll be buying a .270 barreled action for old stock.

Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3
