I am looking to get a rifle that i can use for Deer and hog I have 4 choices 270 308 7 mag 30 06 are all of these suitable for both?

personally wouldnt choose any of those but if i had to itd be the .308

I'm partial to the 7mm Mag so that's what I would suggest!

Try to shoot each one and see which one you like the best. It is usually the recoil that gets people. If you want to shoot loads that are not dumbed down and drop ten feet at 200 yards, you might want a smaller caliber with less recoil. I love the .243, but the .270 isn't much more recoil. I like the .243 becuase I can shoot and watch the animal fall from my scope without the recoil knocking me off. I can't do that with my 30-06 and have to practise a lot to do it with a .270.

Yes all will work
Out of those...and those only 270

X2.

Any of those calibers are suitable for both.
Out of the 4 choices you listed it would be a toss up between .308 and .270 for me.

.270 out of your choices, but id go with .25-06 if you could. Plenty of power to kill deer and hogs, and less recoil as well.

I have owned a 270, 30 06 and 7mm. A good friend owns a 308. If you are just hunting deer and hogs, I think the 270 is your best choice. If you are looking for a good all around gun to hunt in Texas (no long distances), then I think the 30 06 might be better due to the larger projectile. If you're looking for the best of the 4 for general hunting in North America, I think the 7mm wins it hands down.

270 or 308.

Oh good grief, any of them.

I second the .25-06. Of the choices you gave I would not get the 7 mag. I like 7 mags, but recoil is a factor and the ammo is more $$ than the other options.

.270 no-ah .308 uh maybe 30.06 well 7mag will work - shucks get one of each they'll all work fine......"Man can't have too many guns"

Take your pick. Any of them will do the job. I have a .270 and love it. Have a .308 too.

Love my 308 but my gfs cousin has a 7mag and Ive shot it a few times and they don't run... If they do it won't go far

7 mag or 270

7mag, I've shot one since I was 8, I won't shoot anything else.

Any of the 4 will kill anything walking and breathing in Texas.

I own a 270, my Dad a 30-06, and my bro in law a 308. Out of those three, my personal favorite is the 270, but it is VERY much personal preference.

Hate to muddy up your decision any more, but you also need to consider the rifle in which each is chambered. Any of those calibers will have different performance and recoil characteristics depending on quality and length of barrel, thick ness of barrel, weight of rifle, free floated or not, beddded or not, trigger, bolt, semi, or pump, etc.

If it were me, I would settle on a rifle first, then make the caliber decision based on what is offered in that rifle.

Thanks for all the input I have shot the 270 but have not shot the other because I dont know anyone who has them.

You must have a 7MM08 to kill an animal in Tx anymore. All other calibers are obsolete since it's inception.

Seriously though, I like the idea above to shoot each one and choose the one you like. Any of those calibers are just fine for medium to some large game.

270 will get the job done.

i used to have a lease manager that would say " i didnt know they made anything but a 270... and i shoot a 270 as well.... but if i was gonna buy a gun and didnt have a deer rifle at all , i would go to a smaller caliber...i actually wanna buy a 243 so the ole lady and the kids can shoot it to...they all have shot the 270 but 243 or something smaller is just easier shooting

what in texas would you shoot that a 06' would do that a .270 wouldn't do just as well?

I hate to say it but you just named off the 4 most popular hunting cartridges in North America. Each will do what you ask, pick one and get after it!

+1

If we are voting on those four, I would choose .270.
