Alot of people don't even think of a 270 because it's not the sharp shouldered, tactical, cool cartridge. It's a classic. And really only those who've ever dumped powder into a 270 case can really appreciate it for what it is. I mean, the dang thing can handle 60 grains of powder give or take and get a deer/elk sized bullet absolutely moving.
I've always been on the wildcat crowd and 30-06 user until I bought that O'Conner tribute, then I realized it could become a monster. Problem is, I'm a synthetic/stainless guy and just couldn't justify dragging that rifle around.
