You can give me your puny little .270...I'll take it and some off the shelf Remington Core-locks and go moose hunting......I mean I wouldn't want ya to have a gun you feel you can't depend on!!!!!!! That goes for everyone with them anemic 30.06s and plum dinky 30-30s or any other gun you don't deem big enough for mule deer,elk or moose......a .270 will kill anything in North or South America! BUT like I say send it to me I'll use it!!!!!!!!!
