So while I am waiting for my pals I have been researching like heck on what to buy. 2 Very good friends and guides have me looking at the weatherby vanguard series 2 stainless steel in either 7mm rem magnum or .270 win.

Im pairing this with the weatherby mounts and a redfield 3x9 40mm scope.

Any info appreciated!
 
I have rifles chambered in both and the .270 sees more field time than the 7mm. I think the 30/06 is a better "jack of all trades", though.
 
If you have limited shooting experience you would be better off with the .270 Win. in my opinion. Lighter recoil and easier to handle. With care moose can be taken and with light bullets lots of practice shooting is easy. The majority of my moose have been taken with the .270 Win.

I really like shooting .270 and think they are much cheaper to shoot then a mag.For a first gun get a .270 because you will be able to get more practise and 7mm is only marginally better.I am now shooting a 300 win mag but find it does to much damage for deer.I have a Browning X-bolt and love the trigger,I also liked the Weatherby but liked the x-bolt more.
