Hanco: I am "tied" in choosing a "favorite" between my heavy barrel Remington 700 Sendero in 270 Winchester with Leupold 6.5x20 variable scope or my tried and true, classic, pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in caliber 270 Winchester with Leupold 3.5x10 variable scope.
I have killed a LOT of Deer, with a LARGE number of different calibers, but I seem to so often choose using one of my 270's when Deer Hunting.
Long live the 270 Winchester - 98 years old and still going strong - for a reason!
