Like the 30-06, it is one of the all time classics. One that all others are judged by. If you need convincing you should get rid of it.

If you reload,and you shoot a lot,one would not need to convince you on the capabilities of the 270 cal.in a 130gr or 150 gr. bullet.You will convince yourself on this great cartridge. good shooting. vangunsmith

RE: .270 question
 

The three years I spent in Alaska, I hunted mostly with two rifles - one a Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine in .270 (20" barrel), and a Model 70 Super Grade in .375 H&H. For some reason, (I believe St, Hubert had something to do with it), every time I saw game, I was carrying my .270, loaded with 150-grain Nosler Partition bullets at a MV of 2850 FPS from the 20" tube. I killed everything in Alaska with that rifle, excluding Kodiak and Polar bears. However, when I was living in Fairbanks, there was a doctor's wife there who killed an 11' Polar bear (pre-Endangered Species Act) with her .270 M 70 Win., also using a handload with the 150-grain Nosler.

When I returned to the lower 48, I switched to 130 grain Nosler Partitions at 2950 from that same short barrel.

There is NOTHING in the continent of North America that you can't kill with a .270, if you use the right bullets and don't shoot them in the kneecap!!

I envy your time in alaska, Man that had to be fun! Why did you move back? Is it tough to hunt there if your an outsider? EJ

RE: .270 question
 

If you already own the rifle and need other folks to convince you to keep it, then IMHO the marriage is already over. Dump it or retire it and get something else.
