RE: .308,.270 or 25-06
I voted 25-06. It's the perfect little deer caliber, a little hard to find ammo for.
I have a 270, shoulda got a 25-06, because I have to order her preferred ammo anyway[:@].(hmmm, now that I think of it, that ammo isn't available in 25-06)
308 is good too, and could be stretched out way past 300 yds if you ever decide to go deer sniping. easy to find ammo.

i voted 270. but i actually dont own one. my father has owned for as long as i can remember (remington pump). that gun is awsome. the only problem he has ever had was when a buddy of his gave him a couple of boxes of reloads. they jammed liked crazy. i own a 30-06 ruger. very happy with it. would have preffered a 270 but i got a good deal. i also own a rem 308 pump that my sister uses. that gun is awsome. she has shot 5 deer with it. dropped every one in its tracks.

I love my Savage .308 and won't part with it. The .308's accuracyis legendary. They don't call it the 7.62 NATO round for nothing!

That's an easy one, the .270
. I also have a .308, but I prefer the .270. I haven't hunted with my .308 in years. I think I just may have to wipe off the dust and take it to the range. They are all good calibers. It's just a matter of choice. They will all easily kill a deer.

RE: .308,.270 or 25-06
I have each of those calibers and they will all do the job, they will all shoot great and all shoot out to 300yds, the 25-06 is going to have less drop than the other two at that range... My personal favorite is the 25-06 though, no particular reason but one is that my daughter can shoot it as the one I have is a varmint gun and is real heavy thus reducing the recoils for her... This last weekI took a buck, doe and a hog with it andallthree of those animalsdidn't go anywhere.... The week before that the wife took a doe and put her down right there too... Then again, all of those rounds will do that!!!
