I hope you aren't suggesting that he gets a .270 for hunting turkey.
That would go straight through the turkey and hit another hunter 50 yards away, if not closer. It would work good for hogs and deer, but for turkey it's out of the question.
I frankly am not a fan of Savage, I hate their bolts on the bolt actions, heck, you have toSPLAP the bolt up in postition in order to pull it back.[:@]
Very accurate rifle though, good for those who only live by "one shot, one kill" (I'm not saying one shot,one kill is bad mind you ,renfrowridge.)
