Resurrecting the 270 Win

I’ve always thought about getting a 25-06 but I’m a 270 Winchester fan and have shot one for 50 years. If I did my job the gun did it’s job. I couldn’t see getting another rifle based on the same case that shot a smaller lighter bullet, with a worse bc, and was slower than my 270 was with 130 grain bullets. I have to admit that the 120’s in a 25-06 did a good job on coyotes because of less hide damage.
Get a .25-06 anyway. I have a mid '70s Winchester .270, but I've always wanted a .25-06. Looking for a new Savage 110, but they're as rare as hens teeth right now in RH. LH everywhere. Might have to settle for a Weatherby Vanguard, Howa (same thing) or a Tikka? Not in any hurry though. I've been buying the .25-06 ammo when I find a deal on it. Crazy to have to buy the ammo first, but it is what it is?

@Dr Ray
Idont know about that Doc. A man that tries amputation with a Von Gruff knife without anesthesia is more a legend in his own lunch box regardless of what rifles they own

The only truly magnificent people own and use fast 25s and 35 Whelens.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
