[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1069724, member: 88929"] Man this is like the Ford Chevy Dodge question. They all have there pros and cons. A few things I look for in a medium size game rifle: Factory ammo availability. Size and weight. Versatility. Minimal recoil. It's my opinion that long cartridges perform better in longer barrel rifles. Shorter guns are just easier to pack around. Of the rifles you mention I would choose the 270wm but imho I think that a 270wsm would fit better than all the others listed within my requirements. They perform very well with either 110 or 130 grain Barnes ttsx bullets. Bc on the 130 is close to .400 and the 270wsm should have no problem pushing them at 3200+ even out of a short barrel hunting gun. Imo the only thing better for the ultimate mid size hunting gun out to 700 yds would be a 6.5wsm that was commercially available. Hopefully someday they will be. [/QUOTE]
