I admit I have taken more game with a .270 Winchester than anything else in my vault. Of course, at a time is was the ONLY thing in my vault too. I drive the Mrs nutz when I carry on about what rifles to take on a given hunt and then proceed to shoot up a bunch of ammo in the half dozen cartridges just to confuse myself. All that said, if push came to shove and I had only ONE to pick, and it better not, I'd have to go .30-06 Springfield. Gobs of bullets and powders for the reloader, ammo everywhere when you need it, manageable recoil, modest weight, will kill anything on the planet with the right bullets. Boring but will get the job done.


Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?
