RE: 2nd Caliber opinion: .270 Win.
It's an okay cross over rifle.
Have had one for 35 or so years (it was my first rifle).
Hasn't been a favorite (BTW, favorite often means "it's the only one I own") for 25+ years.
I guess it was okay to "cut my teeth" on as a kid working on mostly easy to kill stuff like deer, coyotes, and antelope.
Lots of folks just love'em, love'em, love'em; so I guess you are in good company.
Again, the 270 is an okay cross over rifle, a downsized 30-06.
