RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone refered to in a previous post about the 30-06 going through brush and not getting knocked off course. that may have happened for you, but no gun is a real brush buster. Any bullet can and will be knocked of course by brush at times. It doesnt matter if you're using a 45/70 or a 30-06 brush can and will deflect you're bullet path. As for my personal choice i'd choose a 30-06. i feel it is sufficient for any north american game if loaded with the proper bullets and with sufficient shot placement. I've never seen a 270 more accurate than a 30-06 either. It all comes down to the rifle and the shooter. have a expecienced marksman with a good rifle shooting a 30-06 and another one with a 270 and i'd betcha that a 30-06 would shoot right with the 270. it's all personal preference though. But if it was me i'd be buying a 30-06. Good luck in you're purchase and future hunting ventures.
