Default RE: 270win or wsm?

Treedog, I want a maybe a stainless classic Mod 70 or most likely a A-bolt in 270WSM. The one I saw day before yesterday was a 7mmWSM. I sure as crap don't need it but have found good loads for all my guns, and want something to play with in the spring.

I have
270Win
300RUM
308Win
30-06
243win

I think I got the .30's covered and should take any animal I need to with those down to a coyote. My 270win is 7400 that I have had for over 17 years. Good rifle to beat around in the thick stuff and sentimental value, but wouldn't trust on a good pronghorn, mulie, elk hunt. My 243 is a cheap old Mauser 98 from WWII. Needs alot of work. My 308 is just too pretty to take on a week long elk hunt in possible downpours. Learned my lesson when a mod 70 swelled up so bad, the gun was 8" off during a week hunt. But does wonders for those nice days deer hunting. So I was figured, a 270WSM or maybe 7mmWSM would be just the ticket.
