Lets hear it.  Whats the best?  Can you back it up?
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.
Cougeyes:
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.
