RE: .270 vs. 7mm Rem Mag
Thanks for all the comments. I decided on the .270. Like I said, I was leaning that way. Plus I decided I wanted the Winchester M70 Featherweight which doesn't come in 7mm Rem Mag (only WSM). Man is that gun scarce right now. I bought the only one in the area (but got a great price on it somehow). If I had waited I probably wouldn't have gotten it. Winchester seems to be making a lot more of their .270 WSM because everyone seems to have those in stock.
I decided that if I want more gun to hutn elk, I'll buy another in the future.
BTW, the 7mm Rem Mag comes in a comparable gun to the Featherweight, the Classic Sporter LT. But good luck finding one.
