ditch the muzzle brake.
recoil pads are a good thing.
a .270win, .280, .30-06 is the same case essentially with different size bullets, so a 280 and '06 are so close IMO.
If you want a step up for an elk rifle, etc... my pick for you would be a .300wsm, anything less would be so close to what you already have so why bother.
A .300wsm could do all of NA well, minus some big brown bears I'd have to say.
I misread...thought you still had a .280, hmmm?
30-06 is the ultimate NA all around.
7mm Rem.Mag. is a good all around as well.
If you really wanted a .270wby mag, get yourself a .270wsm!
btw you can kill an elk with a .270
get a .270 WSM, 7mm Rem.Mag., or .30-06
