Advantages of a smaller caliber

[Dom]

Model 70, in my opinion -- No, there's no advantages. Since you must be an O'connor fan, stick with your .270. That's the closest thing to the perfect deer caliber that I know of.

One that might fix the itch would be a Remington Mod Seven in 7-08 (I believe a 7x57, which would put it in line with one of Europe's greatest calibers) would be a great quick handling rifle -- another one to put on my itch list also.

Or get one or another '06, preferably the 30, tho the 25 would be ok.

It's always nice to get the itch, just harder to decide what to use to scratch it with, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
