I’m going stick my neck out and say that the .270 Win & the 7mm Mag are not very different. I think the 30-06 is a tick more versatile with modern powders & bullets. If I had to choose, I’d grudgingly go with a 30-06 knowing that I love the .270 Win and have killed with it more than any other chambering without fuss - it’s just so shootable & effective that I keep coming back. Again, my words apply to if I were choosing ONE rifle. Fortunately I have not had to make such torturous decisions.

Rationale: The 200gr Nosler Partition was my final thought point in determining where I think differences would be. I don’t know how to describe it but an ‘06 with a 200gr Nosler Partition is truly something very special in the game fields of North America.
