This is not how forums work. You ask about two different cartridges and then the replies should throw both of those out the window and tell you to get something else.................. Ill go with the .375 H&H. Will do anything he wants, wherever he wants and relatively mild recoil.

Do you reload? Will It be a life time gun that might some day be a long range shooter also? If he is experienced at shooting or even moderate padi-wan go with a heavy barrel and great glass and he will be set for a long time. I own both rifle calibers and love them. 270 and 308 will both reach out a long way. My 270 happens to be me 200 and under range and slim barrel Remington. My 308 is a 26" bull barrel long range shooter and fun gun.

My stepson has drew and interest in hunting . He is 18 and not recoil sensitive since he has shot my 270 a good bit practicing. I'm gonna buy him his first rifle and have had mixed feelings on which caliber. 308 or 270. I have had good luck with both and I know shot placement is key but what do you guys think. Shots out to 150 yards. Not handoading

My first CF rifle was an old Remington ADL in 270. Killed an absolute mountain of game with that gun. Later carried a 788 in 308 (and still do). Kinda partial to a Montana in 308 these days when the going will be steep and long.
