[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2431693, member: 100742"] The marketing dept and the product development dept. is charged with coming up with new and interesting SALEABLE products. That is their job. All major companies must grow the bottom line , or die. Thats just business. So at some point they did some "Voice of the Customer " surveys, and decided that a .270 with a faster twist , shooting a heavy for caliber bullet, would be an interesting and saleable product. Do .270 Win Kill whitetail and mule deer and elk? Sure ; do 270 Weatherby's kill the same game? Sure; do 270 Win short Mags kill the same game? Sure . So , an executive decision gets made to try to market a.270 Cal rifle, that shoots heavies like a 7mm mag and round out the 270 Product Line. As a former senior marketing manager of an Ortho Trauma Implant company, and a 270 Win and 270 Weatherby Mag shooter , I think they did a very nice job with the new rifle , and Factory Ammo Line. It sure is interesting, because there seems to be a discussion on it on this blog every week. We keep comparing it to the Tried and Tue Classics like the .270 Win and 7 Rem mag.
