When talking featherweight "mountain" rifles I don't think of 270s or 280s in a 20-22" barrel give me a short action 308 based cartridge anyday. There is so little difference in performance between the 270 and 7mm-08 in a short tube that it is hardly worth the mention. The 7mm-08 will recoil less, have less muzzle blast and weigh a few ounces less to boot.
