My '06/M17 Enfield was replaced by rebarrelling to .300 WinMag. I restocked the rifle in woodshop in highschool in 1964, and still carry it in 2014!(just not as far, or fast, lol) I know a lot of hunters that use those "see-thru" mounts. It's just too hard to see a moving target through them. I use QD mounts of one kind or another. Iron sights are for fast-moving game. I hunted in eastern Washington, what does THAT count as? East or West? Now I hunt in Nevada...Doesn't count much as "woods", anywhere, lol. Have fun, Gene

Having said that, the 270 Win with 150 grainers around the same speed would be every bit as good. This latter combo has taken more than 100 pigs for me in the last couple of years from thick timber country to vast open country over grasslands and crops. A lot to like with either. Been mainly shooting 180s in my 30-06 because I have the lighter weights covered with other calibres.
