why not get something heavier? Is not the BLR offered in .358 win? I have the same thought as you sometimes, but then sanity sets in and I just keep shooting my .270WCF. The .270WCF is just tough to beat. Browning offers their light weight take down BLR rifle in 308 and 358 that would really be something different! Granted if you did not have a 270 the 7-08 would be wonderful but to buy the .270 short when you have its big brother (270WCF)in my opinion is redundent.
