RE: Out west rifle need help
If you already have a .270 I would look at the .325 WSM or the .300 WSM. Though there are several other ones that would work just as well. I'm going to use my .450 Marlin for elk when I go. With the Hornady bullets I can shoot 200 yard swith no problem and the gun is short enough if you hunt in heavy timber you can move it around easy.
