Fair enough. Amazing what big bullets pushed at decent speeds do to animals.
I love my Whelen (M700 CDL) but have always wanted a Model 70 so chambered. My old Remington shoots too well to mess with though.
Scotty, why does it not surprise me that half the posts on a Whelen thread are from you? LOL
Just do it... find a .270 M70 and get 'er rebored. Best thing you could do to a .270...
