Never been kidded about my choices�but then again I've never bought a .270�. Stands to reason you wouldn't be kidded about the choice of a real rifleman, but then, real riflemen don't wear leopard camo, either.

BSA picks on me cause I have a remington. 
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

i have taken more abuse(verbally) about my choices of hunting rifles than most on this board,,
I have a Spanish mauser that I bought and bubba-ed into a perfect 50yard to 175 yard rifle it looks bad but I most of the time , bring home the meat while others have unfilled tags with very expensive rifles,,
reason I get the abuse is I do own a few very expensive rifles but I get the biggest kick out of hunting with mosin nagants, Spanish mauser,, even the Japanese arisaka at times

The first year I hunted at a friend's camp the camp know it all commented on my 760 30-06 is a "damned cannon". Later I bought a.243 and he commented "the .243 his comment was "the .243 is too fast for brush and will deflect off brush too easily". A few years later his son showed up with a 300 win mag and I looked at him and said "and my 30-6 is a damned cannon"? He said "he got a got deal and had to buy it".

Yep, I grew up in a crew that considered the 308 win the top end for deer. 3006 was for elk. 270 was a waste of meat, but 250savage and 243 win were just fine for elk.
300 Savage was the round real hunters used.
Hard to argue against that one.
