Yeah, that .007 difference between 7mm and 270 makes all the difference.

Don't take that wrong. As others have mentioned my first was a 30-30 and a couple years later a Model 70, 270. It was 40+ years before I got a 7 X 64 on a 98. I would happily live the rest of my life with either and never feel at a disadvantage. Funny thing is I don't own a rifle in either cartridge right now. Other favorites are currently in use.
