.308 vs .270

[skeet]

Surprising to say the least but I have 2 308's and one...er 2 270's. One of the 270's is an as new pre 64 Supergrade M-70 Featherweight so I don't intend to shoot it..anymore. I am also like Evan...I have absolutely no use for a 308. The darn things just have too much recoil....at least they feel that way to me. Admittedly they are both Lever guns. A M-88 Winchester(pre 64) and a Savage 99 in 308. Kick the snot out of ya...IMO. The Ruger 270 I shoot is an early tang safety model and it is a pleasure to shoot. I also have a pre 64 Win 70 and an early Ruger 77 in 30-06 and they both kick much less than the 308's. I also have a 99 in 300 Savage and it is a pleasure to shoot even though I hardly shoot it any more. Lots of people like the 308 but they can have it. And I personally think the short action versus long action is a bunch of hogwash. 2 inches and a few ouces don't make all that much difference...at least in real life!

BOY I'll bet I just started something now!!
