SECOND, and the hole in my current collection, would be a long range bolt action reacher for antelope and open country white tail. Something like a 270Win

I can understand this being the hole in your collection, living in Alaska myself including time in the bush in the Interior; this is not the place where the deer and the antelope play, none in the state/whitetail or antelope.
I have a nice bolt target .223 for this "niche". Practical...not for where we live, but fun!
And as far as the humble .22lr I have several. Shoot them more than any other rifles, and I reload for my centerfires.
Forget the .270 and get a .22lr. (Given where we live.)
YMMV
