I think the main difference is platforms. I have both cartridges but set up differently for different purposes. My 308 is a 22" Montana, my 270 is a 24" Montana. It would seem that the 2" of barrel wouldn't be much of a thing - but the two rifle handle completely differently. The 308 has a VX 3 2.5-8; the 270 VX3i 3.5-10 CDS. The 308 is my Whitetail gun - used for treestands and still hunting. The 270 is my carry long range rig. Both will see action this fall but in different states. One cam certainly cover for the other but I prefer dedicated rifles for specific tasks.
Rifle looneyism at its finest..............
