the opportunity has arisen to get a 25/06 or a 270 Dakota 10. the catch? they are both basic rifles and the 270 is $2k more. Currently without a Wisconsin deer gun. tree stand and still hunting. what would you do? thanks Find a good pre 64 model 70 270 fwt instead. It will get the job done, just as well (ore better) as the rifles you mention....
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

OK I read this and it reads like you are looking at either a 25-06 or 270 in a Dakota 10. That can't be right if the 270 is $2K higher. So what kind of rifle is the 25-06? If they are both the same model rifle, why in the world is the 270 more expensive?? Gotta pay the gay tax. Us straight guys don't have to worry about that chit...

The Dakota M 10 .270 Win. Or is it a 270 Dakota? I don't think there is a Dakota 270 Cartridge, think they start at 7MM? I sure could be wrong on that though, they do not list one on their web page. I have a couple of Model 10's they are a joy to carry and shoot. Both are very accurate. Buy them both! Yes,Dakota cartridges start at 7mm. There is a 270 Dakota. Just a necked down 7mm Dakota. I would never dream of ruining a perfectly good 7mm, myself. Figured since $2K more, it may be a custom/wildcat, since he never actually stated .270 Win........

Wish Brian would show up and clear up the ambiguity in his post.
If there's a 25-06 Dakota Model 10 out there for 2K less than one in 270, I want to know where.

Currently without a Wisconsin deer gun. tree stand and still hunting. what would you do? thanks Had a really nice Ruger #1 in .280 Rem I bought used. Problem was it was ‘too nice’. While I used it in good weather on a couple of antelope huts, I couldn’t bring myself to take it on elk/deer hunts. I finally sold it to fund a new Ruger Scout in .308 Win. Much as I liked the #1, I figure I came out ahead in the deal as the Scout, which came in a laminate stock, now has Ruger’s synthetic stock and suits my needs much better. The Dakotas are beautiful rifles and if they turn your crank and money isn’t the issue, you should get one. Or both. If it were me and I was looking for a “deer rifle”, a .270 would be hard to beat. For the same reasons I sold the #1, though, I wouldn’t buy a Dakota. I keep thinking about my then-new Remington M700 and its first elk hunt. After three falls on a talus slope it had dings in the barrel, action, scope and stock. For me a Dakota would be a safe queen and I don’t keep those.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I would not be interested in a dakota 10 in either if the wood was plain... I ended up buying a .260 Low wall but I did spend some time online shopping for the "right" Model 10...
If you are flexible about the chambering there are good deals to be had on Model 10s that have the kind of beautiful wood that rifle loonie dreams are made of....

I may personally like the 270 better. I won't make a recommendation about which you didn't ask, which seems to be standard procedure anymore. The differences between the 25/06 and 270 are so insignificant that the differences between the same rifle prices ($2K more), makes this decision a no-brainer for me. I have 3 270s in various configurations. If you were to offer me those same configurations in 25/06 plus $1,000 (probably even less) in trade, I would be the newest and happiest quarter bore fan in the world and you would have three 270s and $3,000 less money in your pocket.
