caliber similar to 270 win
What is a non-obscure caliber similar to a 270win? My wife shoots my 270 right now but I need to get her a left handed rifle and was just considering what other similar calibers there may be. Primarily used for deer hunting. was thinking maybe a 25-06 or 280.

You’d do well for her with a 25-06, 243, or 6.5 creedmoor. Among others.

Probably the most options for you will come with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Seems everyone is making a rifle in that chambering.

I would look at the 6.5s, likely the 6.5x55, 6.5x284, or 6.5prc.

No shortage of choices in a 6.5, only a few less in 7mm, If she's good with an 06 size case, great, otherwise go with something based on a 308 or x57 sized case. Lot of choices out there these days, none of them are bad.

Really if you had anyone of these you really do not need the others ... put your eyeballs on a 280 rem or 280ai as well

7-08 comes pretty close.

280 Rem would be the closest cartridge-wise.
7mm-08 would be an excellent cartridge for what she needs it for, and is chambered in more rifles so selection would be better.
