The best damn gun made in my opinion. I have had probably 7-8 over the years. Accurate as hell, handy as hell, and can withstand inclimate elements well.
I'd put 7600 up against any factory bolt gun. I've said that before on here. They are a great gun.
They are all one action lenght so a .308 or .243 won't change the bolt throw if thats what you're asking. For some reason the .308 I have kicks harder than any of the others I've shot. I'm sure the Whelen has a little more snap to it.
Never had a problem with ejcetion on any of them. Feeding too. In my experience with them, they seem to like many different types of bullets too. I have only average luck with the Nosler Partitions though. OTOH my father in law has great accuracy with 180gr NP's in his 7600.
One in a .270 would be great. This is the only rifle in our camp in WI. Everyone uses a 7600 or 760 of some flavor or another.
