My father was in the SP during WWII (41st Infantry division). He was also in Korea.

He liked the Carbine better then the M1. He killed a water buffalo with one after another GI muffed the shot with a Garand.

But, he didnt hunt with a Carbine when he got home. Neither do I, I use a 257 or 270.

My question is, the OP said he only has two days before the hunt so he can't sight in his 270. Hmmmm

Anyway as a side note, not to be out done by my father I killed a water bufflao with my M16a1. We had fun aruging which is the better gun. But I wouldnt take a AR hunting either.
