I'm about to purchase a rifle and don't know which one to get. I have heard good things about both but don't know what to get or what the pros and cons of either Any suggestions?

30-06 out of those two.

7mm if you just want my general opinion.

do you want six or do you want a half dozen

They are both great, but we are giong to need a little more info. What are you going to hunt etc?

in my opinion the model of the rifle would be more important than the calibre in this case.

30-06 as a matter of personal preference. Both will get the job done.

It's a toss up. Get whichever you think sounds cooler.

It's really a push either way. I like the 270 win, but that's just me.

Both are really good calibers for this part of the country. The alt 6 was considered the best caliber ever made a few years back by some cohorts.

I have several of each.
