Some how, I don't think any minds will be changed.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

If I could get a chance to kill a moose and sheep I would sell my 30-06 No problem!
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

I had a 270 once... it's been perfect ever since I got rid of it...
Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

Well think about it guys
 
If you go through the pros and cons
 
1.  Ammo availability
2.  Flat trajectory
3.  Recoil
4.  Rifle availability
5.  Component availability
 
the 270 is the only one with all pros and no cons
 
the 06 does not have a flat trajectory (at least with a suitable sectional density bullet) and is less pro on 3
 
the 280 fails on 1 (factory loads are anemic because of the lower chamber pressure specs and not very available), 2 with factory loads and 4
 
Now if you are a reloader then different story.  My personal best (most perfect) caliber is the 280AI with 160 gr AB's at over 3000 fps
 
IOW if someone asks me what rifle would I recommend and he does not reload, the 270 all the way
Guns only have 2 enemies, rust and politicians
