Alright boys....as my name says, I'm a hardcore bowhunter...I guess not that hardcore since I put in for and drew a central UT buck deer tag. Well I got a little "tip" of an area with some nice bucks and I know that the shot's WILL BE long! 250-500 yds.....so I had to put in for the ole "powder burner". I'm not going to flip an arrow across the canyon. Anyway, I have a .270 Win that is a good shooter and a new Savage .243 with Accu-trigger that is even more of a shooter and a lot lighter to pack. Question: If it were you...which rifle would you pack knowing that your shots will be long and that it takes about 4 hours to pack in on foot? (too nasty steep for a horse...maybe a goat) Do you take the heavier, more walloping .270 or will the lighter punching .243 do OK out to 500 yds? Let here what you think!!!
