I own all 3,and my favorite?'06,because my '06 is a M1917.My 270 is a Win m70 that outshoots anything in my safe,and my 7 mm shoots almost as good and has a BIG Pachmyer butt pad so it doesn't kick much more than the '06.My 7mm has dropped 2 elk in their tracks using 175 gr bullets,the 270 killed 1 elk,went 5 yrds and died.Haven't taken the '06 yet,yet.All 3 rds are great big game stoppers,'06 has more bullet choice yes,but how many are you going to actually use?
