The 270Win is better now than it ever was due to improved bullet technology. The off the shelf ammo selection is excellent ( same for 308 Win, 7mm08, 30-06, and others). Due to ballistic realities...

Either....take your pick
270 if there is a possibility of going after bigger, tougher game....25-06 if emphasis would be on deer...then going smaller...like goats and varmints...my .02cents

Post Script: the Springfield was the most accurate.....but the SMLE was accurate enough for a G.I. rifle

I am an American and I have shot the SMLE #4, the German Kar 98, and U.S. 1903 Springfield WWII II variant with peep sight. HANDS DOWN...my choice would be the SMLE #4.....10 ROUND mag...quickest...

Both the 308win and the 7mm08 rem are excellent cartridges. Your choice of off the shelf factory ammo will be much better in the 308. To take advantage of the higher B.C. of the 7mm-08 you must be a...

Stug.....so if a person is a non reloader don't you think the that the 7mm Rem Mag would be the logical choice as it is far more common than the others plus it's plenty effective?

Stug....from your experience how do these 3 7mm Mag calibers compare in terms of effectiveness?

Stug.....what caliber and what kind of rifle do you mostly use?

Shooting red stags......what is the average distance in North island vs. South Island.
