I've got an 06 and love it. Its very light and very accurate. With 180 handloads it also has pronounced jump and not insignificant (although by no means brutal) recoil. I'd think the 270 might be a great sweet spot for that rifle in the long action. With a stout 150 grain load there aren't many critters that would know the difference. Sure hope they produce them again someday although I'm far from confident. I'd sure like to add a 7mm-08 to my arsenal. Good luck!
