I have used all kinds of guns in all different calibers, but I just love my .270's. I have used them from 10 yards out to 400 yards. It shoots flater than a 30-06 and has plenty of knock down when it gets there without any dout it would be a .270.

I use a Remington semi-auto .30-06 that was my wife's grandfathers. I've used it for about 15 years now and it performs great. It is also a cherished reminder of a great hunter from yesterdays generation.

jaybird2: Tell me about your 308 - what do you like about the 308 in particular? I'm thinking about getting one in a weatherby svm, but I'm weighing that against a 25-06/243 possibility in either a ruger vt or winchester sporter.
