Harvested plenty of bucks with the .308 and my dad has shot one since he was 18. He hastaken over 130 bucks with it, with very few not found. With that said, allof our rifles are Browning and I would have tosacrifice the 308 caliber for the Browning quality anyday!

both are wonderful guns, the .308 is an excellent all purpose gun no matter what terrain your hunting, as well as the 270, ive been shooting a 308 for many years and love it, gets the job done with one shot out to 200 yards if needed.

Is there a problem with your .270? If it is working well then why change, unless of course you just would like another rifle. If it is working well then I would have to agree with the post that suggested you put your money into a new scope. Both the .270 and the .308 are fine deer cal. and I believe work equally well within 200 yards using the same grain of bullet.

I own 6 Ruger rifles topped with Leupolds and have never had a problem with any of them. One is in .308 andit hasmade groups on an 8 inch bullseye at800yds. The only negative things that I've heard about Brownings is the factory trigger is very weak and they're not consistant at long range. So no problem if you shoot medium range and don't ever mistakenly pull the trigger with the safety on. I personally prefer .308 over .270 after having recovered many .270 bullets from hogs and no .30 calibers. But a deer isn't as tough as a hog.

I have a Browning A bolt .270 and a .308. Both are great deer rifles, but I really prefer the .270. I wouldn't change if I were you, but if you do, the .308 is a sweet caliber. You can't go wrong with either, but is there really a need to change?

Both are good cals...... and they are not limited to 200 yds or less

I own both. I have a Browning A-Bolt 308 and a CZ 550 in 270. Its a toss-up IMO The 270 might have a slight edge at very long range but both are IDEAL choices for most NA big game.

If you end up going to the M77 Ruger .308, see if Ruger offers an ultra light model in that caliber. I have the Ruger M77 Ultra Light .270 and it is sooooo sssswwwweeeetttt!!! If you're hunting within 200 yards the Ultra light will do the job and it is so easy to carry and manuever with in the brush. Be sure to mount a top quality scope, no matter what rifle you use.

Six of one, half of a dozen on the other in terms of caliber.As you can tell from the responces here, there are advocates for both rifles. I happen to have owned both an A bolt (30-06 which I gave to my son in law) and a Rugar (7 Rem Mag which I soldto a brother in law) and loved both of them.I would stick with what you already have, and if I were to buy another rifle, I would moveway up, or down, in caliber. In my instance, I moved down from 300 win mag to .308 and my next rifle will be either a .223 or a.243 and will mostly be used for varmits. Or, as Moose said, buy better glass - either a scope, spotting scope, or binocs.

Oh, and I bought a Weatherby Vanguard SMOA and happen to think it is better than either the Browning or the Rugar (but that is just my opinion - rifle to shoulder, cross hairs on game).

Weatherby Vanguard/HOWA in 270 with Timney trigger is as good as it gets.

With $9 a box Federal 130 gr shoots MOA @ 200 yds

Loaded with old fashioned Remington Bronze Points 130's it is a whitetails worst enemy.

If you can see him you can kill him.
