Sorry I can't help you out at all. I never let logic and reason effect my rifle buying. I usually just fall in love with a rifle and then I dream about it awhile and then I do what is nessasary to get it.

If you love both of these rifles one option might be to eventually get both.

One in a great open country big game round like the .270 win. and the other in a great varmint round like a .22/250.
