Consider me retarded. I don't know why I said .30-06 in my last post. He has an open sight .30-30 lever action. That is why I was think that it would be better while stalking through the woods over the scoped .300. I have shot both guns and felt comfortable with both of em. I knew that I would stir up a debate, but I am pretty open minded and like to hear different opinions from everybody. So far so good. Sounds alot like personal preference. I knew the .270 would be a good all around gun, but just wanted to hear some opinions on everything else out there also.

The guy at work told me to tell me friend to ditch the "gopher gun" (my friend shoots a .270) and the guy shoots a .338 with a 200 grain bullet.
