Thanks all, you seemed to help. I will have to debate the 270 7mm-08 a little more with myself. Seriously I think the 7mm is the way I want to go. I figure the reason he was pushing the .270 is he had a few in stock where as the 7mm-08 he would have to order. Why should I stay away from the remington? I now think I may purchase the A-bolt. I liked the magazine design the best, and the bolt seemed awfully nice as well.
