8mm mauser or 308 or 270 rifle which nis better?
Depends on your definition of better. All 3 are capable of taking any game found in North America. The 8mm Mauser carries a little more energy than the .308. The .308 may have an edge in accuracy. The .270 is basically the 30-06 necked down to .27 caliber, shoots flatter, due to higher velocity. This is one of those Ford/ Chevy/ Dodge discussions.
