I own seven 270's and two 7-08's. I consider the 7-08 to be a 270 short and does just as well with the lighter bullets, but the 270 pulls away a tad with heavier bullets. I was seriously considering a 270-08 at one time, but the 7-08 won out due to already being a factory round.

The SA vs LA is not a big deal to me as my edge stocked 270 FWT is plenty light enough for me. I found the Kimber 84L in 270 to be too much of a good thing. But I am not a serious mountain/backpack hunter like some here.
