^^^^. LOL

I used to be that way….grew up with ‘06s and 308s. I owned and hunted some 280s. I’ve owned some 270s, mostly by accident….gun trading days or I wanted the rifle and it just happened to be in 270. EVERYONE had 270s or ‘06s around my neck when I was growing up, and the loyalties were often fierce. When I actually started spending time shooting and hunting with the 270, I figured out that it stood on its own pretty darn well. The newest unexpected thing is how well it’s suppressing and performing in an 18” tube. I don’t think that one misses the 6” of barrel at all.
