270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

Which would be better for whitetail deer and black bear in Pa a 270,280 or a 30/06

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

Al though any of the three you listed would be perfect, the 30-06 would have the edge on big game out to 300 yards. The 280 or 270 would have the edge for game at ranges beyound that. You could not go wrong with the 280 for sure.

I haven't been here long, but I know that a rather large can o' worms has just been opened.

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

Any of the three will do fine but my preference is the 280rem.

as everyone said any of the three . I been trying to get a 280 Rem in the NEF with a 26" barrel and they are always sold out so it must be pretty popular .

30-06 Sprg. Good luck.

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

The .270 or .280 are both flatter than the '06, so I would go with either of those. The difference between the two is only on paper, and minimal even at that.

even though i am a big fan of the 280rem and have owned two 280rem's in the past. i would have to say the 30-06sprg. just for availability of a good premium round is hard to find and expensive compared to the 30-06sprg. if you reload i would definatly look at the 280rem.

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

Honestly there's not much difference between them...mostly personal preference. I own a .280, and use handloads...it is deadly.

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

My choice for your particular use would be: 280; .270; .30/'06. But, if I were planning to perhaps go after larger stuff later, like elk or grizzly bears, then I'd get a .30/'06 for sure!!

Keep yore powder dry!!

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

Personally I would pick the 270 or 280. They will do the job and flatter shooters.

halcon. I have been trying to get that same gun for a couple months. I ordered it from Walmart but its not in stock yet. I am about to get the 270 synthetic which they do have and then send it in to NEF and have them fit the 280 barrel to it. They have many accessary barrels for them but they have to fit them.

RE: 270Win.,280Rem. or 30/06
 

I use the Winchester Model 70 270 and love it. The 30-06 is for sure the old stand by your choice. By the way my 270 has almost no kick if that is part of your decision making.
