The 300 is nearly identical and the 270wsm is much better than the traditional one.
:)In the Tikkas all the actions are the same length. I have one in 300Win Mag and my brother has the 300 short mag in Tikkas, the recoil is not a big deal.I have a few Tikkas.Carl
and a Kimber 'might' shoot as good as a remington, neither are close to a Tikka.LOL sorry couldn't help my selfCarl

I'd go with a 270 too. And if I were spending Kimber $$$, I'd step up a couple more bills and get a Sako 85 Finlight.....

I looked it up one time and the finlights are actually a little heavier than the tikka T3 lite. As for the kimber montanas, They are everything I am looking for except for the bad reviews on accuracy. I have read so much bad press, there is NO way its coincidence or just all around poor shooting.
Thats funny I almost forgot about that guy The deal with the montanas are they shoot really well or crappy, luck of the draw
To some degree it's a flip of the coin. Both are gonna be great out to 300-350yards. If you're talking 400 yard shots though I think you're be a lil better off w/ the 300wsm. Not that the 270 can't perform at those ranges but more that the 300's bullet weights are going to perform better. Once you get over about 300yards I think you're pushing the envelope a little on the 270... especially if on bigger animals.
