Another for the .270. "Model 70 .270" just seems to fall more trippingly from the tongue . But seriously, can't go wrong with either. Whoever said, to paraphrase, "if you had one you'd then want the other" had it about right. Although, as stated the .270 was born with the 54, it just seems to be associated very strongly with the 70. But then again, so is the '06....and so it goes!
