    Only the people that own one will defend them!
    Also you better not use the word gay but happy is the term to use as you could offend the 270 owners on here.
    So sounds like
    270 owners are happy people☺

    By the way spook what is your flavour of bang stick?
    I guessed that...thought someone had dropped a box of Waikato off in town.
    My rifle, as in my avatar...7mm STW for the open...375 Win for the total shit, up close.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Ok I might look into a 6.5x55 or 280 and leave the 270 for the fags.
    Thanks for your help.

    Love the stw as shot one quite a bit and got some good legs.
    And as my mate said about calibre when asked was.
    If your going to put a hole in something it might as well be a big one.
    What plat forms have ypu got them in?

    The .270 I had was a Parker Hale...they boot in both directions...not really the rifle for the gay community...but if you are that way inclined we can sympathise with you.

    Only a small hole going in though...exit can be impressive.
    Sorry don't quite understand last question...typo on your part or ol'fart mind on mine?

    Most of the 'advice' you have received so far is people amusing them selves. Quite typical around here, mind you you did open yourself up a bit!

    I've had two .270s and theres nothing wrong with the calibre; read the latest addition of NZ Hunter.

    As far as choosing between Rem and Tika, just see whats available and what feels right in you hands. Just to be sure I have two of each!

    The journey to hunting perfection involves the purchase and sale of many rifles so don't sweet it to much; a Tika in .270 will kill everything you'll find in New Zealand.

    Oh the irony, calling a .270 a gun for fags but wants to get a Tikka.
    @Magless get the 6.5x55, I load for my mates T3 in 6.5x55.

    Just be aware that T3s in 7mm08 are for Jaffa Hairdressers and fashion designers.

    I used to have a T3 and a Remington, but upgraded to Sakos.

    If you're relatively new to centrefire rifles then be aware the 270 does kick harder and boom louder than some of the other options, which can cause some new shooters to develop a flinch and miss everything. 25-06 a bit lighter on the recoil but still loud.

    6.5x55, 7mm08, 308 will all kill things just as well without burning as much powder.
