I've thought all along I wanted a .308 but if I went with .223 I could keep my overall caliber count down.
Savage model 25 lightweight.

Why 270wsm? Just curious. Do you have to shoot so many times you need the short action?

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Lol. No. I just like the cartridge. It's a great flat shooting round imo.

I'm still stuck on the .22 Hornet....just sold a Walnut one.....I have friends up in SC that run .270, all they have is Savage, but I would need to call for the exact gun. Oh, and no wood stocks for them. Those guns get used in any weather.

I use to hunt with the head game warden for the state of Virginia and all he used was a BAR chambered in .270!!!
