@m457109I find the .270 to be oddly boring. I have owned several over the years, but never hunted with any of them…always found myself reaching for something else when it came time to choose the rifle for the hunt. I’ve never been able to figure out why it hold no appeal for me because I use similarly boring cartridges all the time (7x57, 30-06, 7 mag). No 270’s currently in my stable, but lots of other boring rifles quietly wait their turn.
If jack O'Connor didn't praise the 270 and beat it to death with high praise it would never have got off the ground. It won't do anything the 280 and old ought 6 won't do as good or better
