For me it comes down to the fact that I was only able to buy 1 gun. I wanted something that I could hunt deer, hogs, elk, pronghorn with. So...a Tikka T3 Lite in .270 WSM crossed my path at the right time and I bought it. Ideally I would have got a 30.06 but the timing was right and I was in the right place and right time to trade a 9mm handgun straight up for this nearly new rifle.

So....be it a 100 lb whitetail doe or a monster bull elk.........I'll be using a .270 WSM.
