If your just gonna hunt Whitetails then id say the 270 but if you want to go hunt Moose or Elk then id stick with the 300. Its more your preference and whitch one your more comfortable with.

What do you mean that you don't need both????????????[:@]

Move to Canada and you'll be dam glad you have one let alone two!

Keep both of them and then go get another.

Hard to go wrong with a .30 caliber rifle. I wouldn't consider it to much gun.

If it was meI would probably keep the gun unless you don't like it.

since you already have a .270 might as well keep the 300

The 270 is certainly all you need for whitetail and mule deer. It is also plenty for caribou-sized game. If you will ever hunt moose, elk, or BIG bears, then the .300 may be a tad better.

Shoot both. Keep the most accurate one!

However, if you have a .270 Win. and a .30/'06, then sell both-you don't NEED eithe r one of them. Neither will do anything you can't accomplish just as quick and easily with a .30/'06!
