IMHO, you cant go wrong with a remington rifle. I'm personally leaning towards the more weather esistant models, like the XCR, and such. I am stationed in Utah, and also hunt my home state of Pennsylvania, so i like the stanless and sythetics. The weather changes too soon. ButI would love to have a CDL. BEAUTIFUL rifles. As for the .270...I personally dont like that round, just my personal opinion. I like the .30 calibers, but you seem to have that all covered.

How bout a 7mm rem mag, 300 win. Both are historically accurate, and heavy hitters, just my 2 cents
