It sounds to me that the gun dealer was either getting a commission on the .270, or did not know what he was talking about! The 7MM-08 is just as good as the .270 at any range that you should be shooting deer at! So take your pick! You would be satisfied with either caliber! As far as finding bullets, the 7MM-08 has gained a lot of popularity over the last few years, so finding ammo should not be a problem either! Good luck!

Well, several years ago, i would have agreed with you FL/GA and bareback. I then started to shoot with a crowd. I then started to notice, I didn' t have that cool sako type extractor on my 700' s. I started to notice that my barrel had a hard time staying freefloated in my wood stocked 700' s. I then went on several big game hunts and noticed that my safety wouldn' t hold my bolt down on my 700 and sometimes I would have opened the bolt by accident with black spruce peices getting into my action.

I then noticed that I have to pay a fortune in getting my 700' s pillar bedded. Then started noticing my crown out of round. Then as of late, noticed, my barrels were rougher than the crowd. I now buy browning, and don' t worry about it anymore.

I think that the Brownings are made in Japan...Pretty Sure! That' s the biggest reason I' d opt for the Remington. As far as the choice between the .270 and the 7mm 08, I have both and usually reach for the .270 when deer hunting. Not because I feel it is better, but because it fits me better.
