.270 vs. 30.06 looking to buy new gun

I'd let the kid decide and just look over their shoulder. When I was 15, I was very focused on accuracy (bullet placement) and went with a 243 for its versatility (vamints to deer sized game). Yes, I bought my own rifle. If you don't seat a 243 rifle right on your shoulder, it can hurt too with a couple of rounds. A couple of years later, I bumped up to the 270 win. Been there ever since. If the kid can shoot a shotgun, he can handle 270>308>30-06.
 
.270 or .30-06?

I have beed looking for a new rifle myself, and I been playing with the Idea of a .270 also. Yes the .30-06 has a lot more ammo choices, but everyone has 1. A .270 will kill anything from Black bear to whistle pigs so it should work well for me. I also like browning, so when I so their BAR listed I am sold. lol you can get it in WSM or rem. and I will get mine in cammo since I will use it for hunting white tail.
