I bought a .270 in1972 with calf money. It was my primary hunting rifle until seven years ago when I bought a 6.5x55 - CZ 550 American. The rifles feel to be the same weight but recoil feels less in the Swede. I shoot 130 grain bullets out of both. I prefer the 6.5x55 now but don't have a reason I can think of. Maybe I was tired of the .270.
