I am getting ready to buy a very nice hunting rifle. I have decided on the rifle and its just over $1,000.00 MSRP.

I have decided to get the Remington Model 700 XCR (Xtreme conditions rifle). Its rated as the most tough and durable model 700 on the market, non-custom. The steel and coating these use on all parts of this rifle are beyond belief. I held one the other day at the store and I fell in love.

I am trying to decide if I want to go with a .270 or a .30-06. I like the longer distance advantage of the .270 because its a flatter shooting round in terms of trajectory but the .30-06 is one of the most popular rounds in the world and arguably the best all around high powered rifle cartridge in the world. You can hunt anything from coyote to grizzly bear with this rifle all by changing your loads.

If you were me, what would you get? This XCR rifle will last me the rest of my life so I want to make sure I get one that I will love and can shoot forever.
