[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1393704, member: 30902"] Neither. I'd look at the same two rifles for a .260 Rem, 6.5CM, or 6.5x55 and for a 7mm RM or 300wm and if available then decide between two of those. With recoil being of great importance to you then I'd definitely be looking at the 6.5's. Flatter shooting, less recoil. The 7mm-08 is just underpowered as 7mm's go and ballistically inferior to the 6.5's mentioned above. The .270 is just not a caliber that has ever impressed me, I'd take the ..280 Rem or .284win over it any day and certainly over the 7mm-08. You also have a vast array of great bullets on the market in the 6.5's and 7mm's and comparatively limited choices in the .270. One of the great things about living in this country is that when it comes to firearms we are far more limited by our own imaginations than we are available options and choices. [/QUOTE]
