what are you going to be hunting? Cant go wrong with the 30-06.

Deer and turkey. I just brought a Mossberg 835 for turkey. Now I need a longer range rifle for deer and whatever else.

depends on lots of things, you should probably talk to the others in your hunting party to see what kinda range shots you will be takling. then think about if you hunt alot and where you plan on hunting... do you want a one gun that cane to a general amount of things or a specific gun that would be perfect for a area and specific animal....

id go with the 30-06, there isnt much that that gun wont bring down, just in case you decide to eventually hunt larger game. Otherwise any of those will do the job up to 150 yards or so.

They hunt on their gun clubs private land. One uses a 7MM one uses a 30-06. Ones looking at some kind of 45 cal rifle. The fourth guy I haven't talked to yet. Most deer hunting. 2002xlt how about 300 yds?

30-30 or 30-06....270 is a good all around gun, can be used for deer, a little larger game, and smaller game.

well it depends what grain your bullet it the 30-06 and the 308 arnt much diffrent 30-06 has more velocity(3200 fps ) and has 2842ft.lbs at inpact but the 308 (2600 fps ) and has 2670 ft. lbs at inpact is more accurat, the 270 a smaller bullet with but does 3100velocity at 2774 ft.lbs so in my experance in reloading and hutting id go with the 308

hope i helped

sorry i forgot the 30-30 it not a accurat 300 yrd gun

30-06 or the 308 will do the job fine and you will be able to hunt larger game if you so choose later on. Just to give you an idea, my dad has all the guns you mentioned and hunts with his 30-06 90% of the time. the .270 is a range rifle, and the 30-30 is an antique.

OT- But **** i love 7MM, my uncle just grabbed one, and **** that is an awesome gun, and what i plan on getting. You can take down a fckin elephant with that gun. (no not literally, but pretty **** close.)
