[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2163605, member: 114633"] Does the author also compair a 22" 270 to a 26" 6.8wstn? Oh probably just how every 6.5cm out there has had a 22" barrel since they came out with 6.5prc with a 26" barrel.... Also they said a 6arc(with a 24" tube) was as as good as a 308(conveniently prolly with a 16" pipe).... Oh and the 350leg had more knock down power than the 30-30..... Also you NEED a short action because a gun that has an action .5" shorter with a 4" LONGER barrel will be lighter Many affordable good manufacturers make only one action length (Tikka) (a long action Tikka with a 24" barrel is lighter than a short action Winchester/browning with a 20" barrel). Also you can put enough trail boss in the good ol 270 to make it JUST AS POWERFUL as the 6.8spc !!! Fatter cartridges (like fatter people) don't cycle 🚴 as quickly as easily. 😁 Food for thought ... Whoever said a 458 socom was a 45-70 NEVER shot a full Marlin pressure handload. [/QUOTE]
