Gatehouse, I was in the same dilemma about a year ago. Wanted both but could only have one. I friend I deal had both and let me try both out before I decided. Both were the exact same rifle, a Savage 110. I went with the 270. Haven't regretted it one bit. Awesome on deer, yet friendly enough on coyotes.
270 vs 30-06

I have both a .270 & .30-06 in bolt action rifles. Both have scope sights. The .270 wears an M8 6x Leupold. The .30-06 is sporting an old 3x9 Scopechief. Both of these rifles will shoot one moa with favored loads. Both rifles have harvested big game, my .30-06 has harvested moose, muledeer, whitetails, blackbears, coyotes and upland game birds (head shots on chickens) and snowshoe hares. The .270 has accounted for two mature whitetail bucks. For the last few years, the .30-06 hasn't come out of the safe. Why? Because it's BORING. It kills with predictable one-shot regularity so often it's not even funny. So my latest choice is now the great .348 WCF in my peep sighted Browning M71 :shock: Of course the .270Win. and .338WinMag will also see use by myself and daughter. Looks like another comfortable sleep for the old .30-06 again this year...KF
well id have to say depends on what your hunting big game; moose bear etc go with the 30-06 but for small game; rabbit gopher skunk squirrel etc definitly something in the 50 bmg cat.especialy if your range is round 25-100 yds :twisted:
I would say 30-06. I had a 270. for many years as a teen and early 20's but since have been with 30-06 and would say for all round gun, 30-06 would beat out a 270. Having said that the debate between the two has been on since the 270. was introduced and will go on forever. I have hunting partners who swear by the 270.
