#1) 30-06---only gun that I really ever messed with
#2) .270---targets and such, impressed with recoil and trajectory
#3) .243---targets and such, impressed with recoil and accuracy
#4) .22----love plinking and taking out the darn woodchucks in my moms garden

id have to go with the 30-06. but i cant beleave .270 dident even make the list.

huntnh, the .270 didn't make the list because I already have a .270
P.S. the .270 is my Fav caliber. LOL

I just wanted to get everyones thoughts on the Calibers I'm considering for my next rifle.
I LOVE the .30-06 especially for it's cartridge options but I'm leaning more towards the .300 Win Mag.
Between Remington and Federal factory loads It has decent ammo coverage with 130, 150, 160, 165, 180, 190 and 200 gr. bullets
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions :wallbash: :wallbash:

id go 30-06

BB, I agree with your decision. The 300 is a great all around round that exceeds everything but the 338 in your list and could be used for all critters except the big bears. These questions stir the opinion pot really well but its fun to read the posts. The 7mm mag would be a close second. I'm not knocking the 06 cause i have several. I too like the 270 as a deer getter. I'd throw in a 300 sav as an old man deer caliber, easy on the shoulder and plenty of oomph to get-er done. The 308, 270 wm, 25-06, 243, 260, 35 rem, all the new short mags................ :biggrin:

bruce i think if you are looking to add and already have the 270 i'd jump to the 300 win mag. or better yet the 300 win short mag.

looks good bruce and a attractive price. how long before she arrives? lets us know how it shoots.

I'm looking to add as well but i'm going the other direction. Tikka t3 in .270 win short mag. the number i got was $660 but that before i get the scope and make him sharpen his pencil.

congrats BB on the new purchase.

please do bruce. i'm looking for the synthetic stock stainless or blued. like saving a buck or a hundred.

just sent you a private message ronn... Good Luck

got it thanks

Darn it!!! Sorry Bruce I misread the post. I thought you asked our personal fav's. Punch drunk sorry.

Out of your list mine would be the 30-06 for the same reason's ronn listed.I shoot a 270 also,but any caliber choice would be a .280.

.270 and 30-06 are just about the same. My next gun will be a .243 with some big big 50mm glass. There is something about that round. you know it is just enough for the job and is a nail driver. You just have to make a clean shot.
