The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

I own two 700's in .270 and i wouldnt trade em for anything. The 7-08 is comparable but slower. The view one sees is his own Practitioner of the ancient art of skank fu

In the wide-open West I'd go 270.

Though, the 7-08 always seemed to recoil a little less to me, but might just be my perception.
