ok well see if i did happen to get a bear perment i can use my dads browning 06 or my grandpas 06 and if i was gonna go with the 270 would it stop a bear if i wanted it to i mean it is gonna be mostly for deer so that is why i am confused about this whole thing oh and also what brand should i go with i found a nice savage for like 400 but i also found a weatherby (spellin) for 489 also how hard is it to find shells for the 270
