HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ineed some expert advise, im looking at buying either the Browning A Bolt medallion 30-06, or the 270 im only going to be using the gun for deer or hog hunting.Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Both are plenty of gun for the biggest deer and hogs. A .270 uses the same case as the 30-06...just necked down. The only case I see for one being better than the other is if you think you may go to bigger game later on. In that case you can get heavier bullets for the 30-06.

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

For stricty deer and hogs, nothing beats the .270. That is my favorite gun. I have a Winchester .270 A-Bolt and my father has a Browning A-Bolt in 7mm mag so its the best of both worlds. Just be ready for the kickback in either gun! Good luck.

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

becasue of personal preference, .270. nothing much beats it for me

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

i like the ol 30-06. its got plenty of power and you can shoot through brush and not get nocked off course.

Well the expert in my house is my Dad and he says He swears by The 270. He's got 10 whitetail with it and 2 black bear.

RE: bama deer
 

the ol' 30-06 for me

RE: bama deer
 

allI need is my 7mm08

RE: bama deer
 

i'd like to get a .300 Wetherby magnum.

RE: bama deer
 

.270 A-Bolt because I think it's more accurate.

RE: bama deer
 

I say go with a .308

RE: bama deer
 

definitely one of the 06's 25-06 or 30-06 the best to guns for any North American Big Game

RE: bama deer
 

i would definately go with the 30-06. you can load it down for deer and hogs and then if you want you can move up to the heavier bullets for big deer and larger.

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I would definately go with the 270. As long as you are not going out west to hunt BIG game, that will be the only rifle you will need.

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

someone refered to in a previous post about the 30-06 going through brush and not getting knocked off course. that may have happened for you, but no gun is a real brush buster. Any bullet can and will be knocked of course by brush at times. It doesnt matter if you're using a 45/70 or a 30-06 brush can and will deflect you're bullet path. As for my personal choice i'd choose a 30-06. i feel it is sufficient for any north american game if loaded with the proper bullets and with sufficient shot placement. I've never seen a 270 more accurate than a 30-06 either. It all comes down to the rifle and the shooter. have a expecienced marksman with a good rifle shooting a 30-06 and another one with a 270 and i'd betcha that a 30-06 would shoot right with the 270. it's all personal preference though. But if it was me i'd be buying a 30-06. Good luck in you're purchase and future hunting ventures.
