If it were me, I would look into a 7-08,.260 Rem, or creed as said above. 270 Win is my favorite cartridge, but you will get the same performance out of a short action cartridge and 20" barrel.
I love the .270. If you just want that cartridge with a short barrel, go ahead. It will kill stuff.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
