Yet I can imagine a dad telling his son, "How about we get YOU a new rifle in 270, just like Dad's, but in a short light rifle YOU can carry and handle? And w/a little less recoil?
What the 270-08 offers Joe Blow the deer hunter, is a round he can identify with in caliber size and ballistic performance, in a handy short action rifle.
THAT is what the round offers, and where it would best make sense and what platform would like sell best.
But Winchester doesn't really sell a short light rifle. The Winchester all weathers are closer to everyones normal sporters about 6.5 lbs is as light as they go and they don't do barrels shorter than 22. and to get that light you have a $1100 list price. The rest of the line is even heavier.
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
