Not to knock the .270, however the 30-06 will do anything better than the .270 the 30-06 with 150 gr shoots an inch lower than the .270 and people will tell you how much flatter the .270 shoots,yes it’s a good deer rifle,but an 06 has better bullet selection and will take most North American game,the .270 won’t,that’s my opinion I may be wrong.
The 721 was a good rifle,I have one,but the 700 is better,with the updated bolt guide.
