got both gr8 cals !my 270 is. unmodded only use in Scotland really my 6.5 will get some outings when the fallow does come in .most of all I use the 308 though a jack of all trades !
will give you a clean kill on any quarry in the UK, shoots flat, so little change in trajectory with different bullet weights you don't need to re-zero and DOES NOT recoil any worse than a .308.
Mine own opinion is that if price is equal you'd be better getting a .30-06 rather than a .270. Or a 7x64. I've had and used .270's. Still have one. But also have a .280 Remington and 7x64. But my plans are for a .30-06 and be done. The .270 is a great calibre but for British stalking the .30-06 is probably better as you can start with 150 grains and go up or down in weight. In .270 WCF you've pretty much 130 and 140 and nowadays it's difficult to easily source 150 grain bullets at reasonable prices.
