Thread: Considering upgrading from 7mm08 to possibly 270 or something else

I own a 7mm-08 and a 270, both Winchester Model 70s. I only bought the 270 because it was a flasher version of the same rifle I already had and loved and it was going for a good price. Not because I wanted a 270 in particular. I've tucked it away for future use for when my poor old rusty 7mm-08 finally gets too embarrassing to use. In practical terms, these rifles do pretty much the same thing and there's no hunting or shooting I personally do where a 270 provides any advantage over a 7mm-08. In theory a 270 has marginally less drop, but you need to get out to unrealistic hunting ranges where you would be using a dedicated long range calibre anyway.
