this poll is a little short sighted. guns are like golf clubs. no one would go golfing with one club, we need a set of guns, short range, mid range, long range and practice guns etc. small bore big bore lots and lots. all calibres have there purpose and lots overlap in use. we need as many as possible. i say have a 270 and a 30 06.

Exactly!! I've been trying to explain that to the gf but to no avail.

''That one's the moose gun, this ones the deer gun, bear gun is over here, this is the mountain gun'' and so on.

By the way, I'd take the '06 for it's wider bullet selection.

my vote as you might have already guessed goes for the 30-06, thats what comes with me every time, and my 308 stays in its case, incase i do something bad to the 30-06.( always need a back up gun you just never now when a bad thing might happen)

If the 270win were introduced today, I think people would say "there are already a host of other guns that already do that".

Apples and oranges is the 270 and 270 WSM. Kinda like comparing a .22 Long and a .223 Rem!
