Another big thing in my final choice is price, money is gonna be pretty tight this year, which is another reason I was looking at the NEF. I have a NEF in .22 hornet and for the price of the gun it is one of the best shooting, most accurate guns I have ever used. I was looking at some specs on the NEF and it shows the weight at 6 or 7 pounds so it does not seem that recoil in 270 would be too bad.
