I would certainly own one if I didn't already have a .280. I've used my .280 for years now, and it's performed very well on a variety of game. I expect a .270 would do the same. I guess I'm not quite loony enough to think I need both, but a couple of years ago I bought a hunting rifle in .270 for a young friend who was just starting to hunt big game, and he's now killed mule deer, elk and pigs with it so it's working out well for him just like it seems to for lots of other folks.
