Dom.
22s have therye place and we hunters keep lookin for it all over in the hunting scene. when we start to stray and think maybe just maybe.its guys like you that reinforce an infasize to the general public that there are much better calibers out there to take deer sized game with. us other guys well never be helped.
as far as model70, i think hes uptight(uptight might be the wrong word, straight to point maybe) or im just open minded to be able to have other calibers to have fun and play around with. i was givin the 270win as my first rifle, if i wasnt the person i am i might have never had any exsperince in other calibers. i like to play and i do it alot. ive had more varmit rifles then i needed over the years, but ive yet to get rif of any deer capable rigs, dont know what that has to do with any thing.
and as far as ribn him alittle. i say we should keep at it. sooner or later were gona see his sence of humor come rolling out. he is right on, the 270win is a perfect deer rifle. long range short range it can do it all, recoil is noticable but mild. it can take elk with good a blet and well placed shot. and you can turn around and shoot rock chucks and yotes with it. heck id plug a moose with mine if its all i had.. the 270 is perfect and has been for a very long time. theyre isnt anyone here in the us that would be lacking in most situations with a rifle in this caliber..
anyways we now have new knickname for model 70 yeah you guessed it. ill call him o'conner any chance i get.
