I have never owned a rem rifle , but own 6 browning rifles, a-bolts and x-bolts, and have always had good luck with browning , they shoot good, and I really like being able to have a detachable clip . my friend has the rem where he has no clip and has that spring thing that drops the ammo out the bottom. I have another question for u on the reason for u wanting a 270wsm, over a standard 270win??? I do own both 270wsm and a 270win and if u look at the ballistics of the 2 bullets u are spliting hairs, u dont really gain that much more from the wsm over the 270win, I wish I would of did more research before I bought mine, and here is the big kicker, u can BUY 270 win ammo Way cheaper than 270wsm ammo, just saying and for most things u can hunt u can do with the old 270 win ,, as for shooting bigger game I shot a 300wsmor grab my 7mm rem mag, I see alot of guys now buying 300wsm over alot of the other wsm out there, seeing u can hunt all the way from deer size game to moose. elk, bear, ect..... dont get me wrong, im not telling u what to buy just giving u some ideas from someone who bought both, and the 270wsm was a gift from my ex girlfriend so I didnt say no lol,, well good luck.... I vote for the Browning very good shooting and never had any problems, take care.
