Post by: aquaassassin on Oct 20, 2011, 08:13:55 AM

Plain and simple, to the point. What is everyones favorite rifle caliber, not looking for brands, models, or uses. Just your one favorite rifle caliber, choose only one.  Throw up a size 8)

I love my 7mm.

I have to get something for my son next year and don't know what caliber to get.  I'm torn between a 270 and a 25-06.  The 270 is much more versatile, but I'm not sure of the recoil.
