i bought my wife a rem model 7 in 260rem, it is a pleasure to shoot, it is a compact design, the same gun can be bought in 7mm-08, 308, not sure about this gun in a 270, i am kind of partial to the 7-08 and the 308 mainly because of bullet selection, ruger also makes a "compact" rifle great for smaller framed people, and for people that tree stand hunt,

best of luck, keith

oh yea!!! where are my manners
