[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 2008629, member: 107258"] Agree 100% - have had that discussion more than once with 25-06 fans. Not knocking the 25-06 but when I asked "Tell me one thing it does that a 270 cannot do better?" the answers were pretty similar to the look of a doe in the headlights. Also - if for whatever reason you need to pack a light rifle for long hikes, but still want the accuracy and power to go after longer shots, the 270 is a pretty solid choice. Maybe not as much power as the various magnums but if you've ever fired a 70 featherweight in 300 winmag you'll know why I'm saying this. I'm not recoil-shy but being ready for a follow-up shot is a good, too. [/QUOTE]
