270/ 06 and 280 use the same case, of those I think the 280 has the best all round performance, very close to a 7mm Mag. Very close!
270 shooting a 130gr would be a hard caliber to beat, Plentiful ammo,accurate, lots of choices in guns.
I would go with a 270 short mag. Great all around gun. Very accurate and packs a very good punch.
these are always fun threads to watch. I am only going to say two things. Buy American made and get a magnum of some sort. If you go that route you will never be disappointed in the purchase.

Or, if you don't plan on shooting from a bench then I guess a magnum is ok too. But I'd rather have a rifle that is fun to shoot. Seriously, only get a magnum if the majority of your shots are going to be well beyond 300 yards. Otherwise, there simply is no justification for it.
i can't believe knowbody has thrown this one out 25-06. greatest deer cartridge made in my opinion. Light recoil very flat and good knockdown power.
