I don't want to discourage you from buying a new rifle, but I've taken deer, moose and bear with a 30-06, and have had excellent success with it.

Now, if you need an excuse to buy the .270, why don't you get it for shooting deer, caribou and antelope at long range.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
