It's a platform issue for me, somethings I like short actions in and I'd go 308, others I'll take the 270 with. A savage 99 or browning BLR in 308 are two that come to mind fast handling fit me well and have good reach for the occasional long shot, my main bolt rifle is a 270 CLR/NULA hybrid that handles bean fields, recoil is very light is death on whitetails and adequate for elk when it needs to be.
