| Hunting Cowboy:
Everyone has their own preferences and can probably make a convincing case for their choice. I personally use a Remington Model 700 7mm Mag. I also have a Winchester Model 70 Winchester (pre-64) in 30-06 that I like. But I think a 270 is hard to beat and would be my choice. My son shoots a 270 and with his loads, is accurate out to 400 yards. |

I personally have hunted with a Savage 30-06. Have never had any problems with it. Wouldn't hesitate to shoot elk, deer, or bear with it. I'm thinking about getting a new rifle for next year. Just havn't decided on what to get. |

I shoot a remington model 700; 270 winchester. It is a great gun, i've taken numerous deer with it and it is a flat shooting gun, but i wouldn't shoot any further than 400 yards with it, although personally i wouldn't shoot that far with any gun, i'm comfortable up to 300 or so. I've taken two bull elk with it, one was a spike, but the other was a big 6 by 6, dropped in his tracks. I upped the loads though for elk hunting. My vote goes to the 270. |

I shoot a savage 270 and all of the deer i have shot with it have gone down within 20 yards. |
