Well seems the 30-06 I thought I had nailed down wasn't meant to be.<br />
However, also seems that was a good thing. Right after that "fell through" (sold out from under me for higher price), found a Browning A-Bolt Medallion in .270 WSM in fantastic shape and hardly shot and beautifully finished American Walnut stock. It's already equipped with Simmons 3x9x50mm Scope with quick-open covers and Browning leather Sling for same price as I was going to give for the X-bolt with no scope or mounts or sling with Synthetic Stock. Drove immediately after finishing the negotiation and sealed the deal before the Ether wore off as with the previous "turd" of a Seller. <br />
Did some research and found the .270 WSM to have less drop than the -06 (only 5.5" drop at 300 vs 8" and according to Ballistic Charts has very near the same Power and Force with a tad less recoil. Of course the Ammo is less plentiful with fewer variations and does not have as large of a selection &range of Bullet weights. Also the ammo is about 60% higher per box of twenty on average but bought it to kill and not target shoot so not too much of an issue. <br />
Overall,,, well pleased and can't wait to fire and check the Scope Zero tomorrow. Thanks again to all for the advice, input and sounding-board. Hate to admit it but I was unaware of the Caliber so never even considered it although I did the straight up .270<br />
After I get a couple boxes shot through it I will post the results and thoughts.<br />
