[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1153159, member: 77249"] I have a 700 Rem. Classic 270 Win., And a Kimber Montana in 300 WSM. I have killed many deer and several bear with the 270 Win. But since I got the 300 WSM in 2004. Partly because of hunting in fowl weather I like the SS Action & barrel with Fiberglass stock, I also catch myself taking my 300 WSM instead of my 270 Win. I consider a well built 180 gr. or larger bullet better for Caribou, Elk and Moose than 150 gr. .270 bullet. I have killed 1 Buck Whitetail with 180 Gr. Hornady SST, 2 Bull Caribou and a Bull Elk with the 300 WSM. Recovered only 1 180 Gr. Nosler partition bullet after penetrating about 4 ft. of elk and lodging in the opposite shoulder. To me the recoil between the rifles is a toss up. I have confidently carried the 300 WSM in Alberta and Newfoundland Moose hunting. No Bull, No Bang. Good Luck in your choice and Happy Hunting.
