[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 2008538, member: 26820"] Recent convert here. I held on to my 30-06 for way too long. My specific rifle was not consistent regarding accuracy, and 30-06 has alittle more recoil than I thought was condusive to shooting accurately. When I finally had enough and was confident the rifle was the problem and not me, I sold it and did my research. 270 seemed to be the best fit for me (280ai probably a little better, but ammo availability was too low for my comfort), and so I bought a used Savage rifle and built my first 270. 30-06 is now dead to me, haha. Nothing wrong with it, but I like the ballistics/recoil mix of the 270 so much better. Originally I saw the 30-06 as one rifle to do all, including hunting elk. The more I researched, I realized that's actually a bad thing, in my opinion. Too many compromises. I'd rather have 2 rifles that are better at their respective purposes. My 270 sits next a 7mmRM that patiently waits for an elk hunt incase I'm ever able to go again. Everything else the 270 does, and I enjoy the flatter ballistics and lower recoil compared to the 30-06. [/QUOTE]
