Super grade. No question. Any other time I would say .30-06 because I flat out hate a .270, but it's a Winchester 70 super grade, the rifleman's rifle. Jack's rifle. A .270 just seems right. It's probably the only rifle I would own chambered to the round.
I sure wouldn't worry about weight difference. My super grade is heavy as hell. you mount a scope, throw some rounds in the belly and a nice leather sling it is a big heavy gun. It's no all day walking/ stalking gun to me.
There's a lot to be said for light done right. The older I get, the more places I look to cut weight to make the hunt more enjoyable. With that said, there's a lot to be said for figured walnut and gloss blue. A big heavy gun that when you cycle the bolt you know it's built to last a LONG time.
