Any time you picked up an outdoor life or fs etc, in the 70s you were told if you don’t have a 270 you have a second class rifle. Folk get tire of that. Anything that needs that kind of constant hype becomes uninteresting. Glock comes to mind..and 1911s,( that should po 95% of the readers) .
Anyway i am glad we got lots of choices, cause we all are wired differently. I find a gun i like, then deal with whatever it’s chambered for. I rarely even notice bolts or autos so will be unlikely to ever own a 270.
