If you had handled a .270, you would have caught 'the gay'�. I just laughed out loud so hard my 13 year old looked at me weird Though he is thirteen so maybe that is normal

When he went to Africa and took a 7mm mag, he said it couldn't even compare to the 270. The 270 was superior in every aspect. That's when I stopped reading his stuff. Is this a irrational rifle-loony post? I don't recall him saying anything like that. Where did he write that?
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I know he whacked at least one elk with the big 7, a Model 70 I believe. He also wrote that the 150 gr. load killed faster than the 175. I don't think he disliked the 7, just didn't need it.

Nice. I just saw one on GB in 6mm, but restrained myself.
I don't know if you've ever seen them, but someone makes a steel replacement trigger guard for the 600/660 for the ones that have issues with the plastic. About a "C" note, I believe.

I may have seen it in a Sarco ad, or something similar.
Just did a quick Google, and Numrich has a cast steel replacement for $97.75. Part #811200.
How's that for service?

I'll take a .243 in a short action over a 6mm in a long action. Just the opposite for me.... and I add that I have 5 different 243s and two 6mm Remingtons on long actions...

O'Connor stated for a woods gun he would probably choose a Marlin lever or Remington pump in .35 Remington, or a Winchester 88 or Savage 99 in .308 Winchester.

Just to add fuel to the fire: two forty three kinda rolls off the tongue better than six millimeter remington or two forty four remington and that's why I think it's more popular! :>)
When I ask "Whatcha huntin' wid?" most folks who use one say "Two forty three." and don't append the "Winchester" to it.
