Reward this voice by purchasing a rifle or 3, it is correct
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

I like to have at least one spare for myself, since stuff happens, and one loaner for my sons. I usually rotate the primary role so I get to use all of them.
So for me, three, plus MLs and a couple of .357s for lazy days.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

The 6.5x55 will do the exact same thing your current 270 will do.
Save the money and use it towards a hunt somewhere new.

I guess that might do in the deer killing dept. Is your barrel bent, it's hitting off to one side. BTW, a 6.5x55 makes a great wifes gun.

the one im lookin at getting is a 6.5x55 The Swede is the ballistic twin to the .260 Rem. that has become my favorite. I think you'll be very happy with it if you decide to get it.

Seriously though, many of us would do far better taking the money for a new deer rifle and instead putting it into ammo or components to improve our skills on the rifles we already own.
