$600 is very reasonable for any Husqvarna, some of the models bring prices well over $1000.00. Like I said, they are comperable to Sako and other quality european fire arms. The 280 Remington, also known as the 7mm Express will be a vertual twin to the 270 Win, but will have the advantage of better bullet selection, the 280 will shoot a 175 grain bullet where the 270 is limited to 150 grains, nosler does offer a 160 grain semi spitzer for reloading. So in a nut shell the 280 is more versitle than the 270, and offers the same flat shooting. If you have a reloading manual you could look up the different loads for both calibers and see what each offers.
