I would have to walk away from it unless you were thinking about throwing more money at it to get it rebarreled. Like you I have little use for the modern manglums. I can kill anything walking on this continent with a 45-70 and it don't try to beat me to death when I pull the trigger.

I have no comment on the rilfe itself, bu tht e .300WSM is not that bad to shoot, I have shot one out of buddy's Tikka, not a heavy rifle at all, and it was not much worse than my .30-06 for recoil, and much less than a .300mag I have tried. This was shot with factory 180grain loads, no reduced recoil reloads.
That said, I agree that anything can be taken with a .270 if you really want too. Also remember at one time the .30-06 was one of those new fangled calibers. Things move on, and things change.
