.270 vs .308 vs .30-06

I figure since I want infantry or recon that’s always in demand. I was taking to a national guard recruiter at a school event and he said infantry cav scout and pretty much any combats rms mos is always in demand also in the marines.

Infantry (of course) will always be in demand, but those aren't the highest ASVABs in the cookie jar. Are you positioning yourself for a career, or a tour?

[Okie1297]

Both. I want to see combat but I want to retire out if the military. I’ve considered doing 20-24 and getting out and becoming a game warden which is another career I want to Do in my life. That or do 10 or so years active then transfer to the guard/reserves and become a game warden.

It's good to have plans and goals, they help you stay the course.

Man, picking between .270, .308, and .30-06 is like trying to pick a favorite BBQ joint — you really can’t go wrong, but you’ll still lose sleep over it.
Personally, I'd grab whatever fits my shoulder best and leaves enough cash left over for ammo and a case of cold ones.
Plus, if you’re planning on building an AR-10 someday, that .308 sounds like a solid two-birds-one-stone kinda move.
Either way, deer won’t know what hit 'em.
