[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2314955, member: 75779"] Tough question without knowing some additional info like: Shot distance Recoil sensitivity How many "Big Game" hunts Etc... Your 270 is fine provided reasonable distances and bullet selection. Your initial research is correct. The bigger 30 cals do have more authority to thump bigger animals. The 300 wm is probably your best bet for a host of reasons. These cartridges really shine past 400 yards. With the newer mono bullets, you have a laser beam that will penetrate end to end if needed. As for guns....Ford, Chevy, dodge. I second the recommendation for a tikka or sako. They tend to be a better production rifle. I'll take a muzzle brake because it helps reduce felt recoil and I shoot with hearing protection regardless. [/QUOTE]
