I shoot a .270 Wby Mag more than any other cartridge, and I assure you it is more than ample for all the game you seek. The .270 WSM, while not quite the equal of the Weatherby cartridge, is so darn close that I don't think any animal will ever know the difference. In fact, if I hadn't been shooting the Weatherby round for 14 years, I'd buy a .270 WSM without hesitation and consider it my "go to" round for just about everything.

Great choice! However, I'd put a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40mm on top. I can't see any reason why you would need 14x on a big game rifle. In fact, my .270 Wby has a Vari-X II 3-9x40mm, and I've never needed anything with more magnification, even though that is one of the flattest-shooting rounds there is.

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
