Ok, so back in the day, I had just about every major caliber rifle there was.
Then, life happened. So, for cash, the rifles had to go. Well, now that time has passed and kids have grown, I find I'm in a better position financially. I'm not looking for the model 70's or X bolts or 700's. I had them and they were great, but I don't need them. This is more of a caliber question. I want a good multi game gun and have narrowed it down to two. The 270 win or the 30-06. Both are long action and pretty hard hitting. The problem is, I used to own two 30-06's. One a rem 700 and the other a model 70. Neither could shoot great. Both had a 3 to 4 inch spread on the paper at 100 yards. My 270 was a Vanguard, and was a clover shooter at 100 yards. But, in North America, which is going to be my best choice for most things, I could ever encounter; even by accident? Thanks for all advice in advance.
