I agree with BobinNH..."If you have one you have the other."

I also believe that if you want one you should get one. You may ask yourself later why you did it because maybe you didn't gain anything but that would have been your choice and your consequences.

I passed up countless fine shooting irons in 7 RM to buy a 7 Wby for the sole reason that I just wanted one. Mine will push 160's to almost 3200 fps with it's 24" barrel. Yes, I had two inches whacked off of it before I ever fired it.

I love it and would never think of getting rid of it. Though it performs admirably with any bullet type or weight I run through it, I am going to settle on the 140 A Frames for serious work and 150 Scirocco's for utility. Serious work being Elk, Axis, Kudu & Bushbuck. Utility being Whitetail and Sheep.

So, to sum up, I think you should have a 270 Wby for no other reason than that's what you want.

By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
