I have had two 270's (one great, the other was the one possessed by demons), two 30/06's (both fantastic shooters) and one 308. They all got away somehow...this one will stay with me, unless it is a poor shooter, etc. I suspect it will be just fine though.
The bad 270 had a history of losing deer every time I shot one....damnedest thing I ever saw....one nice 8 pointer took 4 shots to the heart/lung area and still had to be finished off with my 45....another huge 6 pointer was lost and found later (ribs destroyed in the lung area)...it put me in the hospital with blood poisoning, another deer traveling 341 yards (per GPS) shot through the lungs....it was crazy. Another poster on this thread knows about my troubles with that gun. Should have just made a safe queen with her, but someone wanted her real bad.
Can't wait to shoot the new 30/06
