My 270 is a ruger m77 mark II and the 06 is a winchester 670. My plan is to ultimately put a vortex diamond back hp or one of the vipers on both of those with at theat 4-12X44. They are both wearing bushnell scopes at the moment. The 270 will be good out to 400 ish I would say, and the sendero would be nice but if I go that route I would buy a 300 rum. But I really do like the weatherby round. I've debated the 24 vs 26 inch barrel and I think the 24 would be better as I usually end up walking up through trees then moving around the outskirts of meadows that can be as far as 1000 yards for shootable areas. My thought is that the 24 will be long enough to reach out and touch something, but still easy enough to take a shot in the trees if I need to. I'm ultimately looking at picking up the weatherby right before hunting season when I get my bonus from work.
