Hello young man. If it were me, I would purchase a new Winchester mod 70 in 30'06. This is a rifle for a lifetime and who knows where lady luck will take you. If you have a chance at a big Bull Moose or Elk someday, the '06 is the one and the new Winchesters are rapidly gaining a strong reputation (I don't own one, I'm a Sako guy). The local gun baron....a remington man, claims the new Mod 70's are superior to the pre 64's. A fellow posted the 270 has been around for a long time, but the'06 has been around for over 100 years. Don't get confused by all this and keep asking the same question.... it will soon be clear. Good luck and regards, Rick.
