[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 430510, member: 22335"] OK, you asked. :D You mention factory ammo so I will "assume" you don't handload and will have to buy ammo. Having owned a 270WSM and also only shooting factory ammo I can tell you that the ammo options for a 7mm Rem Mag and a 300 Win Mag are far greater than for a 270WSM. And 6.5-284 ammo doesn't exactly grow on trees, either. If you do reload, the options in 7mm (and 30 cal) bullets are much better than the options in 270 sized bullets. For the price of customizing either one of the rifles you mention you could buy a used Sendero in a different caliber and have "brother" rifles. Or, re-stock your 270 or 30-06 and make one of them a long(er) range rifle, leaving your 300 RUM for the real long range stuff. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
