[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2166895, member: 109862"] I deviated from tradition and community norms by getting a .270 as my first gun when I was 14. the budget was for a savage 111 package gun. I settled for the .270 because they didn’t have one in .30-06 in stock at the cabelas my dad took me to and I wasn’t waiting another day to get my first gun! No regrets, still have that .270, love it. No other family members or friends had one at the time. I learned to shoot centerfire rifle with dads 30-30, an uncles .303 British, another uncles .308 win, and a family friends .30-06. The only other popular cartridge around where I grew up was the .243 win, but understood to be a fine choice for women, children, and the frail elderly. 30 was really the only caliber to consider. There was one guy had a rem 700 in 7mm magnum, and was viewed as a hunting guru with an exotic cartridge haha. [/QUOTE]
