This is getting quite ridiculous...
There's likely not a 'perfect' deer rifle, as so many others have said. The terrain where you use the rifle has a whole LOT to do with what you think is 'best'.

"and, they shouldnt forget their ammo at home......
and, if they do, 30-06 is easier to find than 270......"
I doubt that, and either 270 or 30-06 will be easier to find at the corner store than someone's (name withheld) favorite 30 caliber magnum....

"and, a bad hit with a 30-06, 180gr has a better chance of being found than a bad hit 270, 130gr, none a good chance, but a better one....."
I doubt that, too. Based upon my observations (and I don't own a 270)

We all have our favorite cartridges- based on what's worked well for us, or those around us we've seen using their rifles on deer.
Could we leave it at that?
