Thanks for the info so far. I have an opportunity to purchase a .270 and am trying to decide whether I have a niche to be filled or not...<P>My uncle hunted with a Model 70 270 Winchester for many years, and always had quite good results. I'm reminded of a story told of him. It seemed he had emerged from the woods on a whitetail hunt and didn't realize until he was half way across a fenced off pasture that a large bull was being kept there. He had nearly completed his trek across the field before the bull noticed him, and took chase.<P>My uncle was able to get to the fence and cross it before the upset bull got to him.<BR> When his friend, who owned the land (and the bull) asked with a chuckle if that bull had my uncle scared, my uncle replied "Nope, I wasn't scared at all... I had my 270 and my checkbook."<P>Regards,<P>Wizard
