Suppose your elderly best friend wanted to give you a rifle,a Pre 64 Model 70 Featherweight. And let's just say that he had two to pick from,a 270 and a 308 both proven shooters in excelent condtion.
And he made you promise to never sell the rifle but leave it to you son at your death.
Which do you pick? Remember this rifle only came in one action length and one barrel length so the playing field is completely level.
For me it's not even close,the 270.
For the record,I have five 308s and six 270s.
But put them in the same rifle like the above Winchester,a Tikka,or a Remington 7600;I pick the 270 every time since I have all of these in 270.
My 308s are mostly short,light carbines,plus a AR. These make more sense in 308. So I guess it depends on how you frame the question.
