I was in Gander Mountain yesterday and I saw what I've been looking for for years, a stainless bolt gun in .270 WSM with fluted barrel and camo synthetic stock...and it was light. Very light. It was the Remington Model 7 XCR. I almost cried.
Problem is, I just bought a Sako 85 in .25-06 that was going to be my "go-to" deer rifle. I also have a Weatherby Mk-V in .300 Wby and a Remington Model 7 in .260 Remington.
Somebody please convince me that I do not need this .270 WSM.

RE: Please talk me out of buying a new rifle...
If you think for one moment that you are gonna find someone on here to talk you out of buying a new gun, I think you might have picked the wrong forum.... Just suck it up, go buy it, and suffer along like the rest of us do.... Remember that old adage.."A man can never have too many guns"...
I say buy the Remington then put it in the safe with your new Sako. Maybe they will "hook up". Next time you will open the safe to find 2 little RemKos.
Nothing wrong with owning one center fire...I've owned my Ruger M-77 since 1980...No real need for another, get to know what you have and you will be a better shot...
IF I were to buy a new rifle, it sure wouldn't be a Short Mag...You have a good selection, work with them and you will be fine...
Get it!!
Richard, how could you possibly go through your hunting life with just a 260, 25-06 and 300 wby?
The 270wsm fills a huge gap you have in cartridges that are able to take big game .
You dont have a gun that will kill a whitetail deer weighing 202-207 lbs at yardages between 258 and 264 yards.
