    Nah, nothing wrong with calibre, but the rifle make and model is low end of scale.
    What's your budget?

    Nothing wrong with the caliber 270, 308 and the 30-06 they have been boring animals to death since the days of the neanderthals

    if the 6.5-06 was available as an option in a factory rifle I would have had one of those over my 270 any day, I just have to be greatful for what I got I had a choice of 270 in my budget or no rifle at all buggered if I was going to get a shitty budget rifle again with the exception of the marlin X7 I would grab another one of those in a heartbeat any day. Do I regret owning a 270? no I do not
