Gatorbum,
Bet you had no idea your tounge in cheek intro was gonna fire this back up, this much, did you?

I was sitting here giggling ever since you wrote the first post, waiting for model 70 to pipe up. We all know there are many deer rifles that could be considered perfect. None will kill one deader than the next. From the 243 to the big mag boomers. They all work great. Some will do better than others on paper, but in the field, your gonna get the same results with a wide range of rifles/bullets combos, if you do your job.

Thanks for bringing this back up. Its entertaining anyway. Ill say it again, the 270 is a good rifle if you can only afford one gun (but if thats the case, your still better off with a 30-06). But the 25-06 out performs it with lighter bullets and less recoil and the 280 outperforms it with heavier bullets and about the same recoil. (However in the ones that I have shot, the 280 mountain rifle had less recoil than the 270 bdls I shot.)


True Story.

Andy
