I'm looking at buying a new rifle should I get the .243 or the .270. I know the .270's more versatile for all big game in north America. I think the .243 wont reach out as far and dosent have a lot of take down power at a distance. What would you guys go with?

.270...Either one is fine though.

IMO you made a good choice.
