All great guns. I myself have 2- .308 one is a Ruger gunsite scout and the other is a Sabatti classic rover. I also have three 30.30’s, two are Marlin and the other is a mossberg.Hello and welcome. I have a 30.06 and a .270 and a 30-30. I have killed at least one deer with all 3.
I started out with a .270. And it was just not to my liking. I was so nervous. I got my first deer a full buck with it. I was shaking so bad I wasn’t paying attention and popped myself between the eyes with the scope. I had a big knot for days. Didn’t matter though. I got my buck and I was happy.These days it’s a 30/30 due to where I live and hunt.
In the past, it’s been .243, 30-06, and 25-06 when I hunted where 250 yards, coupled with much younger eyes, was a possibility.
I’ve killed more Texas deer with a .243 and 30-06 than anything else.
I’ve just never cared for the .270.
