i ended up with the .270 win. it was a tough choice between the wsm or the regular .270 but the gun i ended up liking the best didnt come in the wsm which was ok because the local wally world doesnt even carry the wsm ammo and i was looking around at ammo prices and a box of wsm is like $30 and a box of regular .270 win was around $12. in the end im happy with my choice cuz the gun feels good and the ammo is cheaper and it will get the job done hopefully.
