I need to choose 2 calibers for lower 48 and African Plains game.

I was leaning toward a 30-06 and 270.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
...............Keep one as a 270 or 30-06. And for the other, how about the 375 Ruger? A can do conversion with one of your rifles?

With the right bullet the 375 Ruger is flatter shooting than the 30-06, as flat a shooter as the 270, and hits alot harder than both upon impact.

And should you choose to engage yourself with some dangerous big bears over here or dangerous African game, you`ll have a real honey in the 375 Ruger.
