I no longer have a .270, I just never was very keen on the .270, but I still have several 30.06's, but my go to deer rifle is a 7mm-08. I've taken loads of deer with that little cartridge and it...

RE: Anybody use the EZ hit fiber optic sight

I've installed the E Z Hit sight on almost all my shotguns. I've found them to be a truly valuable tool. It gets you to mount the gun correctly everytime. I love mine and would hate to see them go.

I always carry one into camp. My main reason is for packing meat out, rather than carry a rifle, a sidearm works better for me. Used to be a 44 mag but now it's a 45LC Taurus Titanium.
